Donna C. Fatolitis, 81, of Tarpon Springs, Florida, passed away on January 8th, 2026. She is survived by her sons Peter R. (Leza) Fatolitis and Michael Fatolitis; daughters Lisa Fatolitis and Cindy Holets; six grandchildren; as well a sister Norma Braun.
It is with a heavy heart that we announce our Mother, Donna Fatolitis, passed away peacefully early yesterday morning, January 8. She will be extremely missed by her children, Pete, Mike, Lisa, and Cindy; grandchildren; niece and nephews; relatives; and friends. She was one of the best mothers anyone could have and such a great, caring person. She had so much history in Pinellas County. She was raised in Clearwater, FL by her parents, Dominic and Gen, and has a dear sister she loved very much, Norma. She met our Father, Phillip, at Clearwater Beach in the 1950s, then married. She worked for the Pinellas County School Board at Tarpon Springs Elementary School for 35 years and had the opportunity to experience wonderful, lifetime friendships throughout that time. Our Mother would also go out of her way to be kind to and help people, even strangers. She was also an animal lover and rescued cats and dogs throughout her lifetime.
