Donna Cutitta Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 5, 2017.

Donna Kay Cutitta, 74, went to heaven on Saturday, June 3, 2017 surrounded by her beloved family. Donna was born in Kansas City, MO in 1942 to John Finley Zeigler, II and Margaret Wilper. Both preceded her in death. Donna is survived by sisters Jackie Janouschek and Diane Merys and brother John Finley Zeigler III (Jack). She married her one and only Frank Cutitta in 1960 and had 3 children. She loved her job as a stay-at-home mom until she went to college as a 40 year old freshman. After graduating with a degree as a computer programmer. She enjoyed a long career in the field until her retirement in 2001. Her retirement years were spent with her beloved husband, Frank until his passing in 2012. Donna considered her greatest achievement to be her children. Her oldest son Rick Cutitta, wife Sheri, granddaughter Mary Elizabeth and great grandson Thomas Maysen were a constant source of joy. Donna lived her last years with her daughter Laura Ritchey and grandchildren Jarrel, Frankie and Tyray. Grandson Ryan Ritchey also was a source of great pride to Donna. Her youngest son, Scott Cutitta and wife Donnita and grandchildren Amanda (Stackhouse), Allison and Dylan and great granddaughter Emery Mae each shared a strong bond with Donna. Some of Donna’s fondest moments were spent with her friends playing cards. She loved bridge or any form of card game and equally enjoyed spending time with her cherished friends. Her church family from North Cross United Methodist was very important to her and served as a huge source of comfort as her illness progressed.



A Celebration of Life Service will be held at North Cross United Methodist Church on Tuesday, June 6th, 2007 at 7:00 PM culminating with a release of her favorite purple balloons. Visitation will be from 6:00 – 7:00 PM. Donna will be laid to rest with her beloved husband Frank, at White Chapel Memorial Gardens.

Sending love and blessings to John Ziegler, Jackie, and Donna, for the loss of your gem of a sister. To me, I knew her as a person who was full of love and life -- and one who loved her family. May her memory live forward with her children and grandchildren.
