Some of you probably remember Donna at IBSP. Sadly, she passed away, and services will be held tonight. Thoughts and prayers to the family.


This came from another site -

My condolences go all out for Al McCallum and his family for the loss of his beautiful, lovable caring wife Donna who Passed away in her home last week.

Donna worked at the main gate house at Island Beach State Park on the morning shift for many year.
She always had a smile on her face no matter how bad her day was going, gave many anglers information on the fishing conditions.
She loved the beach, loved being with people, always ready to give a helping hand when on the beach.

For those who do not know her by name, she was the lovable sweet Italian Lady with dark hair who worked the morning hours.
Donna will be missed a great deal by many anglers and friends and family. This is nothing but a big heart break for many of us .

I never met her, but from the description I'm reading she must have brought good experiences to thousands of people who visited Island Beach. The personalities of the workers at IBSP and SH are varied as leaves on a tree. Ones like Donna would add to the good times of anyone's outdoors trip.

Sincerest condolences to the family. :(

That just about describes her. There are some dag-nasty attitudes there so she stood out in a positive way. RIP, thoughts to the family.
