Donna Dumont

AUBURN – Donna Dumont, 65, of Auburn, passed away peacefully on June 8, 2022 with her daughter by her side. Born in Greenville, S.C., she moved to Maine as a young adult.

Donna is survived by her only child, Kimberly Dupuis of Auburn; her adult grandchildren, Briana Rines of Auburn and Dylan Rines of Richmond; her brother and sister-in-law Lewis and Lu Coleman; and niece Melissa Coleman of South Carolina. She was predeceased by her parents, Alfred and Hazel Coleman, her brother James Coleman and niece Melanie Coleman, all of South Carolina.

Donna enjoyed spending time with her family, especially when her daughter and grandkids would come visit. While married and raising her daughter in Lisbon, she ran a daycare in her home for many years. She spent time doing factory work as well as working as a pharmacy technician. When her grandchildren were born, she happily became Nana and helped take care of them while their parents worked. She enjoyed shopping for gifts and giving them, often too excited to wait for the birthday or holiday. New clothes or pictures to hang on her wall always made her smile. She loved the sound of a Harley, and collecting teddy bears, walks on the beach, and ice cold beers. Generous and kind, her heart was big and her circle small.

No public memorial service or funeral is planned. Those wishing to express condolences may sign the online guest book at http://www.funeralalternatives.net/obituaries.php.

A private celebration of life will be observed at a later time.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, pay it forward with random acts of kindness and generosity
