Donna LeBrun Taylor, 67 of Salem passed away on Monday August 14 in Salem Hospital due to complications from a long battle with cancer, with her son by her side.

She was born on October 20, 1955, to Joseph LeBrun and Mary Vasilakopoulos in Salem, Ma.

Donna spent her entire life loving and doting on her family. Taking care of others is what made her happy. Cooking, crocheting, and traveling to Old Orchard beach were just a few of her favorite things. Donna was also a huge New England sports fan. Always knowing when "her teams" were playing.  However, the best time of her life was when she became a grandmother. Helping take care of and spend time with her granddaughters over the past 9 years was what gave her the strength to endure her illnesses.

Donna is survived by her husband of 29 years, Glenn Taylor, her son Manuel Ataide Jr., his wife Erin and two granddaughters Avery and Ashton Ataide of Peabody. Her brother Ed Lebrun and husband Frank Bergman of Salem, sister Cheryl Morin and her partner Dick Furmon of Peabody, sister Robin and husband Daniel DeOliveria of Beverly. Along with her nephews Matt Conners, Ian Conners, niece Erika Conners and great nephew Liam Mosher.

Donna's loved ones plan a celebration of life at a later date. Her family asks in lieu of flowers to please donate in her memory to The Jimmy Fund. For more information and online guestbook, please call the Murphy Funeral Home at 978-744-0497 or visit www.MurphyFuneralHome.com.
