Abbott, who held the position of tourism director since 2012, oversaw destination marketing and worked closely with the town’s advertising agency to promote Ocean City as a premier vacation destination.
A native of Cambridge and a graduate of Towson University, Abbott began her career on Delmarva as a news editor, holding publication management positions in print and radio media. With impeccable writing skills and a passion for public relations, she also held positions as a public information officer for Ocean Pines and Perdue before joining the Town of Ocean City as public relations director in April 1997.
“Donna dedicated nearly 23 years of her life to the Town of Ocean City,” said Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan. “She was as devoted as they come and was passionate about destination marketing. She was highly respected by everyone who knew her and her loss will be felt in Ocean City and throughout the State of Maryland.”
