Donna J. Nolan
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Donna J. Nolan, who left this world on January 30, 2025, at the age of 82. A longtime resident of Melbourne, Florida, Donna was a loving mother, grandmother, and friend who touched the lives of many with her kindness and warmth.
She is survived by her two daughters, Samara Tabata (husband Ty) and Ashley Dixon (husband Jason). She was a devoted grandmother to Taylor Bristol (fiancé Gary), Tessa Dixon, Stella Dixon, and Kason Dixon. Sisters Jill Weingart & Linda Manka, Brothers John (wife Pat) Walter, Carl “Freddy” (Wife Sue) Walter.
Donna was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Tom; her parents, Carl & Eleanor Walter and Joe & Jennifer Chapko; and her brothers, Tommy & Timmy Walter and Larry Henderson.
Her greatest joy was her family, and she found immense happiness in the love she shared with them. Her gentle spirit, unwavering strength, and deep compassion will be dearly missed but forever cherished in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
