Donna Lee Brogan, 67, passed away suddenly Wednesday September 9, 2015 in her Newtown home. She was born in Milford to the late Edith (Ceccarelli) Tickey and Lawrence Surenko. Donna graduated from Notre Dame High School and Champlain College. She worked as legal secretary for Harvey Hubbell Corporation and later as a sales agent for Caselli Real Estate in Stratford before her retirement. She is survived by her husband of 46 years, Daniel T. Brogan; a brother, Robert Tickey, Jr. and a sister, Judith Caselli as well as several nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles. Although she had no children of her own, Donna was known as a second mother to all her “kids”- related or not. She was predeceased by her step-father, Robert Tickey, Sr. and her niece, Dana Kentosh. Donna loved watching all sports and had not missed a NY Giants game in over 50 years. She traveled extensively and was known as a fabulous cook, hostess and gardener among all her friends at Rowledge Pond. Her sudden loss stunned everyone but all agree her memory will last forever. Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Memorial Mass to be celebrated in Holy Name of Jesus Church, 1950 Barnum Avenue, Stratford on Friday September 18, 2015 at 10:00am.
