In loving memory of Donine Nada Schwartz.

A woman who embodied the essence of grace, love, and resilience. She was called home by the Lord on June 23, 2025, at the age of 74.

Donine offered warmth without judgment, laughed without reservation, and supported without hesitation during her 74 years of a well-lived life. Her kind nature was a source of comfort and strength to all who were fortunate to know her. Donine dedicated her life to serving the community, working at The Council, traveling, spending time with family and friends, and caring for fur babies from all over, all while leaving everyone's life better than she found it. She provided those around her with infinite belly laughs, love, and a one-of-a-kind humor that was her superpower.

As we gather to honor her memory, we are reminded of the enduring impact of her love and the profound legacy she leaves behind. The world feels a bit quieter now, but her legacy is loud in the many lives she touched.

Let us join to celebrate her remarkable life and find solace in the cherished memories we hold dear. Please join us in celebrating the beautiful life of Donine Schwartz by donating to Gulf Coast Humane Society in her memory.

Donine was known for her great love of fur babies, from cats to dogs; she adopted them all.

We would like to continue Donine’s legacy of giving by making an impact for our friends at Gulf Coast Humane Society by donating animal food, toys, or animal care items.
