PITTSFIELD -  Donna Leh Black, 72, of Pittsfield passed away peacefully at her home on Wednesday, March 16, 2022.

Born in Oneonta, on June 18, 1949, she was the daughter of Benjamin and Marion (Harris) Keator.

She was a member of the Assembly of God Church in Oneonta.  Donna was the President and Office Manager of Van’s Auto Sales & Service in Oneonta.  She was the backbone behind this shop and is the reason it ran smoothly for so many years.  In her leisure time she enjoyed working in her flower garden and feeding the wild animals. She made pets of them; in particular her cat, Mr. Kitty, who she tamed from the wild.  Donna was a strong-willed and compassionate person.  Her life revolved around her family, she was always there for us.  She was always looking for ways to make our home a better place.  Donna liked HGTV with all the home make over shows.
