Alda M. (Cellucci) Donnelly, of Canton, formerly of Randolph, passed away peacefully on November 11, 2026, at the age of 86. Born and raised in Quincy, Alda spent much of her life in the community she loved. She worked as a realtor at Kierman Realty in Randolph for 40 years, building lasting relationships with clients and helping generations of families find a place to call home. She also owned and operated Mailboxes Etc. in Randolph for many years, where her hard work, dedication, and friendly nature made her a familiar and welcoming face in the community.

Known to many as Nonnie, Alda was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and dear friend who truly loved life and treasured being surrounded by family and friends. Her family was her greatest joy, and she took immense pride in her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and her extended Duggan family. She was an incredibly strong and independent woman who faced life’s challenges with determination, resilience, and a strength that inspired those around her.

Alda had a wonderful sense of humor, an amazing talent for cooking, and an unmistakable sense of style. She loved getting dressed up, bringing people together, and never wanted to miss a family gathering, holiday, or celebration with her many friends. She had a way of making every occasion special and was generous with her love, always willing to do anything for the people who meant so much to her

Alda leaves behind a lifetime of memories, laughter, traditions, and love that will continue to live on through her family and all those fortunate enough to have known her.
