Service Held For Donna Donato, Bridgeport Stabbing Victim

NORRISTOWN, PA — A memorial service in honor of the woman who was stabbed to death on the DeKalb Street Bridge in Bridgeport earlier this month was held in Norristown Monday.

The Norristown Hospitality Center organized the event to celebrate the life of Donato, who was a client of the Center. The organization works to support individuals who are suffering from homelessness and poverty in the local community.

"Thank you to all the community members that came together to honor Donna, and recognize our clients' needs at this time," organizers with the Center said in a heartfelt social media post.

Donato was killed by a man whom authorities had determined had previously dated her.

"She will be remembered forever as part of our community," the Center said.
