Donette Torres

It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Donetta Maria Torres, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, on November 19th, 2025, at the age of 78. Born on June 6th, 1947, in the city of Ukiah, Donetta was a vibrant spirit whose warmth, kindness, and love touched all who knew her. A lifelong resident of Hopland, she devoted her life to her family, always putting the needs of her loved ones before her own. Her nurturing heart and unwavering strength created a home filled with love, laughter, and joy. Donetta’s legacy lives on through her devoted husband, Jesus Torres, and their children, Jessie, Donetta, Bettina, and Beatriz. She was the proud grandmother of Victor, Payton, Aerianna, Laila, and Lucas, each of whom she cherished deeply. She is also survived by her loving siblings Chester, Jane, and Wilma, who will forever hold her memory close. Donetta’s love extended beyond her family to her community, where she formed lasting connections with friends and loved ones. Her selflessness, wisdom, and laughter were gifts to all who had the honor of knowing her. Her memory will be carried forward by the many lives she touched. While she will be profoundly missed, the love she shared will remain in our hearts forever.
