Florence M. Doran 1964-2024

Florence was born Oct. 10, 1964, in Youngstown, a daughter of the late Andrew and Evelyn Venzeio Buonavolonta, and was a lifelong area resident.

She was a 1983 graduate of Girard High School and worked at Classic Optical, Santisi’s Marketplace and Walmart in both Warren and Liberty Township while raising and caring for her family.

Flo was a member of St. Rose Church in Girard.

Flo’s radiant personality made her the heart of her community. Whether she was enjoying sunny days or camping trips, she was always happiest when surrounded by family. Her front porch was a welcoming space where she shared countless laughs and stories with neighbors and friends.

Flo is survived by her husband of 37 years, Chuck Doran, whom she married Aug. 15, 1987; her three children, Stephen Doran of Girard, Alexandrea (Anthony) Nadeja of Hubbard and Mathew Doran of Girard; three grandchildren, Nicholas, Gia and Roman; her sister, JoAnn Trucksis of Girard; her brother, Vito (Regina) Buonavolonta of Boardman; her sister-in-law, Kathy Buonavolonta of Girard; many nieces and nephews; and many, many friends.

Flo’s bright spirit will be deeply missed, but her memory will live on in the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

Besides her parents, two brothers, Frank C. and Andrew Buonavolonta; three nephews, Domenick Buonavolonta, Andrew “AJ” Hall and Frank B. Buonavolonta; and a brother-in-law, Thomas Trucksis, preceded Flo in death.
