Donna M. Tidings

October 1, 1961 — February 27, 2025

Colonie

Donna M. Tidings, 63, of Colonie, NY, passed away suddenly but peacefully on Thursday, February 27,2025, at her home.

Born on October 1, 1961, in Albany, NY, Donna was the beloved daughter of the late James and Joan (Lill) Tidings. She graduated from Mercy High School in 1979 and went on to earn an Associate of Applied Science degree in Liberal Arts from Maria College.

Donna dedicated much of her career to helping others, working as an Administrative Assistant for Living Resources in Albany, NY, where she deeply admired her coworkers. Previously, she served as an Office Manager for Servico, Inc

Despite her small stature, Donna had a heart that filled every room she entered. Her warmth, infectious sense of humor, and boundless generosity brought joy to those around her. She was a talented cook, a creative crafter, and most importantly, a devoted sister, aunt, and friend. Family was everything to Donna, and she never missed a gathering. Her nieces and nephews always eagerly asked, ""Aunt Donna is coming, right?"-and the answer was always yes.

Donna was predeceased by her sister, Diane Buchanan; her brother, David Tidings; and her faithful canine companion, Skipper,

She is survived by her loving brother, John (Denise) Tidings, and sister-in-law, Ellen Tidings. She was a cherished aunt to James Tidings, Michael Buchanan, Patrick (Katherine) Tidings, Colin (Kaylin) Tidings, Natalie Tidings, and Aidan Tidings. Donna also leaves behind her adored great-nephews, Colin and Keegan Tidings.

In addition, she is survived by her dear longtime friends and companions, Patricia Beale and Keith Lloyd, whose presence in her life was a source of joy and comfort.

Donna's presence will be profoundly missed, but her love, laughter, and unwavering devotion to family and friends will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Memorial donations may be made to the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society, 3 Oakland Ave, Menands, NY 12204.
