IN MEMORIAM: Lorraine Dono, 79;

Lived 9 Years Past Cancer Prognosis

Lorraine Deno

ONEONTA – Lorraine Dono passed away peacefully on the morning of Aug. 21, 2020. Let it not be said that she lost her battle with cancer, but rather with love and tenacity, she fought past her 2011 prognosis of only three to six months to live, to witness the birth of her fifth grandchild and continued to live life another nine years.

When her beloved husband, Nicholas, was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, she again fought on to remain by his side and care for him. After the summer of 2018, when Nicholas passed away and when her brain tumor came out of remission, Lorraine bravely decided to forego further treatment and to live out the remainder of her life on her own terms.
