Dona Constant Obituary
She was born October 3, 1955 to Donald M. and Charlotte M. (Heflin) Breese in El Paso, Texas.
Dona found solace and pleasure in her gardens, and her culinary talents mirrored the creativity she nurtured in her plants. Her adventurous soul led her to many travels. Dona enjoyed life's simple pleasures, like watching sunsets, and the whimsical dance of clouds.
Above all, Dona cherished time with her family the most. Her presence was a source of unconditional love and support, and she will be deeply missed by all who had the fortune to cross her path.
She was preceded in death by her parents; son, Dennis Wayne Constant; siblings, Sondra Bronsard and Charles Eugene Yates.
Survivors include her children, Don Michael David Gaglio (RubyAnn) and Ryan Neil Constant; grandchildren, Sydney Monroe Gaglio, Kolten Wayne Constant, and Hailey Jolie Constant; siblings, Edwin Yates (Chelly) and Robin Lynne Westphal.
