Donna Gilbert, 58, of Stuart, Florida, passed away peacefully and surrounded by family on Thursday,February 27, 2020. Donna was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt, and she leaves behind a community of family and friends who adored her for her kindness, sweet smile, and infectious laugh.

Donna loved the beach, animals, her family, and rock and roll music. She was funny as hell. Her work ethic was unwavering. And her home-cooked dishes were sought after at family gatherings. Above all, Donna was known for her kind and generous heart. She treated everyone equally and with respect, and believed in a life with dignity for all.

Donna is survived by her husband of 39 years, Roger Gilbert; daughter, Nicole Wise and her husband Dewey Wise; grandchildren, Gavin and Amelia; sisters, Sherri Safford, Carrie Williams and her husband Simon Williams, and Gina Hughes; brothers, Bob Safford and Nicholas Buccella; many nieces and nephews, and kitty cat, Cakie.

A celebration of Donna's life will be held on Saturday, March 14th, at 2:00 pm under a pavilion at Sandsprit Park in Stuart, one of Donna's favorite places to spend time. All of her family and friends are welcome.
