AUGUSTA – Donna R. Doore, 69, of Augusta, passed away Monday, Jan. 31, 2022 in Portland following a heroic battle with cancer. Donna was a kind and caring person who always wanted to help others.
She was born July 30, 1952 in Augusta, the daughter of the late Donald E. and Christine E. (Mason) Farrington. Donna grew up in nearby South China and graduated from Erskine Academy in 1970.

She was a volunteer little league coach and most recently was a member of the MaineGeneral Auxiliary. In her spare time, she enjoyed the family camp on Sebec Lake, visiting the coast of Maine, silversmithing and crafting.
