Donna H. (Archibald) Nauss passed away peacefully Tuesday, February 5, 2019 at her home in Palm City FL after a battle with lung cancer. Donna was the daughter of the late Arthur Archibald and Gladys M. (Dunnigan) Archibald. Donna was born on August 8, 1946 in Lynn Massachusetts. She graduated from Lynn Classical High School, Class of 1964 and Burdett College in 1966. Donna had a lifelong career in the medical field, most recently serving for 25 years as Business Manager for Diagnostic Imaging Services in Stuart, Florida.

Donna is survived by her loving sons Robert M. Nauss, IV (Keesha) of Jacksonville, FL and Marine MSGT Andrew P. Nauss (Barbara) of Bluffton,SC. Donna was immensely proud of her boys' service to our country as a Jacksonville police officer and United States Marine. In addition, she treasured her young grandchildren, Rylee, Emerson, Harper, Leah and Jaxson.  She is also survived by her twin brother, Donald Archibald of Indiantown, FL and a sister, Catherine Nichols of Beverly, Massachusetts.

Donna felt blessed to have extended family and lifelong support from Joanne Granese and Danny, Chad and Danielle Granese. Her maternal uncle Dennis "Russell" Dunnigan survives her, as do several nieces, nephews and cousins.

Among Donna's favorite things were frequent summer travels to Massachusetts to spend time with her northern family. Time at the beach was the best bonus of her move to Florida in 1988.  She treasured a good book, an evening of laughter with friends and her favorite escape was Mother's Day in Aruba enjoying the fruits of her labors. At home or at work, her smile could light a room. She will be greatly missed by those who knew her and were grateful for her friendship.

Visitation will be held at Forest Hills Funeral Home, 2001 SW Murphy Road, Palm City, FL on Friday February 8, 2019 at 12 Noon with a Memorial Service at 1:00pm.
