Donna Marie Molinich

Donna Marie Molinich, passed away May 23, 2015, in the arms of her daughter, Denice Marie, her primary caregiver. Preceded in death by mother, Rose, and father, Alec. Survived by her only daughter, a wounded warrior, Denice Marie, who served in the Army tactically and strategically in the field of intelligence/analysis. She was an up-and-coming actress who was cast in Tim Burton's "Big Fish," which was nominated for five Golden Globe Awards. Her only objective in doing all of this was to give her mother a better life, and she will continue to perform in memory of her mother. Also survived by two fur children, Oliver and Bixbie. A lifelong member of St. Mary's Byzantine Church, Powers Street, Cambria City, where she was active and gave all her time supporting her church. Donna was the strongest woman I ever knew. She never complained as she bravely fought brain cancer. Her zest for life and constant energy was infectious. Her bright smile and bravery is now silent. She was loved by many and will be greatly missed. Her personality was a ray of light. She did not suffer, she lived and loved life. Denice would like to thank all the first responders, in particular, Jeff of the Richland Police Department, Joseph Hribar and Cambria County Coroner, who with their love and compassion went above and beyond that of a human heart. Denice will be eternally grateful to Dr. Geraldine Amper, Donna's primary care physician; Dr. Voloushin, her oncologist; and Dr. Cyril Nathan and all of the team. Donna surprised them all with her fight to live. They call her a walking miracle. Denice also would like to thank Father Robert Oravetz and our extended family, Monsignor Raymond Balta. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, May 29, 2015, at St. Mary's Byzantine Church, Powers Street, Cambria City, Monsignor Raymond Balta officiating, followed by a reception at Donna's home. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Mary's Byzantine Church. Send condolences and order flowers at www.bowserfh.com.
