Donna Rae Gordon

08-12-195318-03-2020

      Donna touched us all with her warm heart, bright smile and beautiful personality.

      What will we remember most about Donna?  Her humor , her kindness and sincerity and her general belief that everyone is good and means well. 

      She had a great love for music, playing drums and coloring. She had about a 100 coloring books.

      She really enjoyed food, but was not really partial to vegetables although she did take a liking to asperges recently.

      She also liked doing crochet, she started on scarves for a colleague’s daughters in 2017 but never finished them as Donna always wanted everything to be perfect and thought that what she created was never good enough.

      Her drive was something everyone admired. She moved from California to The Netherlands on her own and mastered the Dutch language in no time without following one course

      Donna’s death was sudden, but her life was not faint. Her memory will always be with us.

      We will all miss our friend dearly and are grateful for having known her.

      Please be so kind to write your messages in English.

        Donna worked for so many years with Elsevier in Amsterdam, and everyone knows her. She always asked me how I was doing, and send me a big smile and hand waives from a distance. We will miss a fine colleague dearly. My thoughts for her, and her family.

        Sparkling Donna,
        Off and on, during the many years at Elsevier, our paths have crossed. Always, really, always, when we met, we had fun, had to laugh, made jokes, even in the busiest elevator up or down, no matter who was with us... your smiling face, your bright smile, your clear laughter, so vibrant.
        What a loss, to your family and friends, to us and what a gift to heaven where they will now enjoy your everlasting bright presence, free spirit !!

      • Dear Donna,

        Music gives a soul to the Universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything (Plato). Music was your life – be it jazz, funk, rock, blues – you loved them all. You were my first ever Elsevier colleague sharing a room in the Molenwerf in 1989. My early memories of you arriving at the office plugged into your treasured Walkman. Music was in your head, in your veins, in your heart and in your soul. We will miss you so much and can hardly fathom that you are no longer here in this physical world.
        My heartfelt sympathy and compassionate thoughts to Donna’s family, her friends and all who knew her. May we remember you Donna when we hear music and your drum rolls from Heaven.
        There's a lady who's sure,
        All that glitters is gold,
        And she's buying a stairway to Heaven ……..

      De mooiste herinneringen zijn vaak eenvoudige momenten waar je het eerst aan denkt. Condoleances zijn vaak de woorden die als eerste in je opkomen om verdriet te delen.
