Donna Jean Pritts, 76, passed away peacefully Wednesday, November 16, 2022, in Williamsburg, Va., after a long and courageous battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Donna was born in 1945 in Monongahela, to the late William and Mildred Domitrovic.

In 1968, Donna married the love of her life, John “Jack” Pritts.

Donna was a caregiver and devoted her 45-year career as a Registered Nurse to healing the sick. She only retired when her MS made it too difficult to continue working.

She and Jack also ran Canonsburg Milling for over 16 years. They bought the company, which was founded in 1781, from his parents.

Donna loved to work outside in her flower garden. She was multi-talented with the ability to grow, harvest and can her own strawberries, green beans and tomatoes from her 1-acre garden. Donna also loved knitting and needlepoint. She was so good at needlepoint she would stitch entire blankets and tablecloths.

Donna was preceded in death by her parents; and sister-in-law, Linda Domitrovic.

Left to cherish her memory are her loving husband of 54 years, John “Jack” Pritts; and siblings, William, Anna and Cheryl Domitrovic; and her best friend and roommate from nursing training, Bonnie Johnson.
