Ryegate, VT-  Donnalee Patkul (Borry), 71, passed away after a long illness at Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital on Sunday, April 11, 2021.

Donnalee was born in Killeen, TX on May 5, 1949 to Willie and Edith (Jewell) Borry.  She could always be found with a book in one hand, as she was an avid reader, and a camera in the other to capture the moments dear to her heart.  She enjoyed old movies and her ever growing movie collection, but there was nothing she enjoyed more than spending time with her family, her children and most of all her grandchildren.  She had a warm heart and was willing to help anyone in need at any time.

Donnalee was predeceased by her parents and a brother Larry Borry.

She is survived by her three sons, Shane Tibbits and his wife Kristina of Pike, NH, Prachan Patkul of White River Junction, VT, and Larry Labrecque, Jr. of White River Junction,VT; four grandchildren, Alicia Brooks and husband Zachary, Katelyn Tibbits, Trevor Labrecque, and Talan Patkul; four great-grandchildren, Brooke Thompson, Owen Brooks, Brendan and Marianna Jo Tibbits; five sisters, Vicki Kinney, Bonnie Travis, Penny Benjamin, Kelly Miller, and Hope Allen; and one brother, David Borry; along with several nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly.

A small private celebration will be held at a later date.
