Services for Donna will be 2 PM, Friday, November 28, 2008 at Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Baxter with Pastor Erika Nilsen officiating. Friends are welcome to gather Friday morning from 10 AM until noon at the Brenny Funeral Chapel in Baxter.

Donna was born April 7, 1964 in Minneapolis, MN, the daughter of Joe and Bev (Olson) Altobelli. Donna's joys in life were spending time with the "man of her dreams", Daniel and their two beautiful children. She loved shopping with her sister, Michelle and sharing her bargain buys with her co-workers at Good Neighbor Home Health Care. Her passion was a good game of golf with her Tuesday night league and the numerous charity golf events she attended on behalf of Good Neighbor. She had the delight of being a $10,000.00 winner from a local radio station as well.

Donna will be greatly missed by many family members and friends. She is survived by her husband, Daniel; children, Mitchell (16) and Brittny (10); dad, Joe Altobelli, of Virginia, MN; sister, Michelle (Altobelli) Andersen, of Rogers, MN; brothers, Steve Altobelli, of Bloomington, MN, Chris Altobelli, of Eden Prairie, MN, and Tony Altobelli, of Virginia, MN; Marvin Heitala, of New Brighton, MN, step-sister Wendy Cooper of Michigan; numerous nieces and nephews; and the wonderful friends who offered so much help and support through the years, Jean and Bob Gessell (and family), Katie McCarthy-Lee, Anita Travica, Sherrie and Dale Christensen, and many others who stepped in to offer love and support. Donna was preceded in death by her mom, Bev Altobelli.
