Frank Donato went to be with the Lord Wednesday morning, March 25, 2015 in his Mansfield home following a brief illness. He was 58. He was born July 22, 1956 in Cleveland to parents Frank F. & Daisy B. (Coon) Donato. After he graduated from Ontario High School with the class of 1974, he futhered his education by earning his bachelor's degree from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.
Frank worked for many Mansfield companies over the years, including: Mansfield News Journal, Westinghouse, and Pioneer National Latex. A young lady named Dawn Spalding caught his eye and the pair soon married on June 6, 1997. A stickler for detail, Frank had an incredible memory and a generous spirit. He could often be found rooting for Cleveland sports teams, OSU sports, and local high school teams. He thoroughly enjoyed golfing, bowling, and listening to contemporary Christian music. Frank was a member of St. Timothy Lutheran Church in Mansfield.
He is survived by his loving wife of almost 18 years, The Rev. Dawn Donato of Mansfield; two sisters Rosemarie (Robert) Rupel, Joanie (Rob) Sells all of Mt. Vernon; and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.
Memorial contributions in his memory may be made to the American Lung Association or St. Timothy Lutheran Church.
