Mrs. Donna (Roberts) Dutkiewicz, age 61, of Roswell, Georgia, passed away Thursday, July 24, 2025. Donna was born on February 22, 1964 in Newport, Rhode Island, the daughter of the late Anna and Doyle Roberts Sr.
Donna spent her early life in Newport, where she graduated from Rogers High School in 1982. She later moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 1996, where she married the love of her life, John Dutkiewicz. Donna and John shared 29 wonderful years together, creating treasured memories with family and friends. Their marriage was blessed with two children, Victoria and Daniel. Donna is also lovingly remembered by her cherished daughter, Stephanie Mally Andrea.
A true champion of the underdog, Donna's heart was always with those in need. She touched many lives on a day-to-day basis and was ironclad in her beliefs and virtues. Her favorite hobbies included playing tennis, picking shells, tanning by the pool, working in the yard, and spending time with her family. She was her happiest at the beach, as it meant she was with her loved ones – whether in Newport, Hilton Head, Florida, or the Caribbean.
Donna is preceded in death by her mother Anna (Greco) Roberts, father Doyle Roberts Sr. and nephew Ryan Roberts. Her legacy continues through her three loving children: Stephanie Mally Andrea of Portsmouth, Rhode Island (Stephen); Victoria Dutkiewicz of Roswell, GA; and Daniel Dutkiewicz, also of Roswell. Other surviving family members include her sister, Deborah Trudell of Punta Gorda, Florida (Robert); her brothers, Doyle Roberts Jr. (Anne) and David Roberts (Toni) of Rhode Island; her beloved grandchildren, Wynn and Braxton Andrea of Portsmouth, Rhode Island and best life-long friend Dana Murphy of Middletown, Rhode Island.
An opportunity to say goodbye will be held from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 7th, at Northside Chapel, located at 12050 Crabapple Road, Roswell, Georgia. A "Celebration of Life" will be held in Newport, Rhode Island, in early September, details to follow.
