Donna Rozkewicz Phipps With the most incredible presence and grace, Donna, known to us as "Da", "Ma" or "Na-Na", passed away at Norwalk Hospital on Sunday, September 19, 2010 surrounded by her children, family and close friends. Donna was born in 1947 in Norwalk, CT to Walter Rozkewicz and the late Elizabeth Rozkewicz. She was the sister to Mary Beth Rozkewicz of Brooklyn, NY and the late Mark Rozkewicz of Southbury, CT. Donna was a spectacular mother to Em Phipps of Brooklyn, NY, Elizabeth Phipps-Soeiro of Cambridge, MA, and Alexander Phipps of Providence Rhode Island, and more recently, an amazing Na-Na to Henry and Olive Soeiro of Cambridge, MA. Donna had a contagious positive energy and was full of the brightest light. She touched the lives of many people as an artist, reiki master, teacher, recreational therapist, spirit and friend. She enjoyed creating art, gardening, the beach and "thrifting". She will be terribly missed by all, but we have the peace that she is with us always. Ma, we hope you have found that perfect cup of coffee. In lieu of flowers, we ask donations be sent to Cancer Care of Connecticut, 535 Connecticut Avenue, Suite 104, Norwalk, CT 06854. Norwalk's Hoyt-Cognetta Funeral Home & Crematory, 5 East Wall Street is honored to assist the family with the arrangements.
