Donna M. (Lemlin) Dube

Donna M. (Lemlin) Dube had been with Donald, the love of her life since she was 12. He was with her when she passed away on Monday August 10, 2015. She was 66.
Donna was born in Lowell on February 17, 1949. She was a daughter of the late Sonny Lemlin and Annette (Carrigan) Jolin.
Donna attended Lowell schools and worked as a stitcher for the former Grace Shoe Company, and later she worked for the SPNR Bus Company driving physically challenged students to school. A job she loved.
Donna took pleasure in her yard and enjoyed working in it with Donald. She and Don enjoyed traveling. A trip that she cherished was their cruise to Alaska. Donna appreciated the beach, especially Ogunquit and Salisbury, where no trip would be complete without her fried pepper rings. They also reveled in trips to the White Mountains in New Hampshire where they always made sure to stop at Clark's Trading Post.
Donna also had a passion for shopping. She relished the shopping trips with her daughters. Most of all for Donna it was family. They were paramount to her. It was never more evident than at Christmas. It was her favorite time of year. She always looked forward to celebrating with her children, grandchildren, and extended family.
Surviving her besides her husband Donald with whom she recently celebrated 47 years of marriage are her two daughters and sons in law, Christine and Gerald LeBlanc, Dawn and Michael Ripley all of Lowell; three grandchildren, Caitlin LeBlanc, Jake LeBlanc, Kiley Ripley; a great grandson Aiden LeBlanc; two sisters and a brother in law, Carol and Louie Pepin of Dracut, Nancy Sherman of Tyngsboro; and several nieces and nephews.
