If you were lucky enough to know Donna you learned quickly that she was a woman you wouldn't forget. I truly enjoyed my time with her at the 55+ Center. I also got the chance to meet Moose and Fawn and you could feel the love and caring that they all felt for one another. I truly enjoyed my days working in the same building as her because there was a lot of laughing and good times and our shared love for the seniors that came to spend their days for various activities . You are missed my friend. Peg County

My favorite first cousin. She will be missed.

I worked with Donna at the 55+ Center for many years. I had the pleasure of knowing Moose and Fawn when they would visit their mom while at work. We use to crack up with Fawns child who would get on the stage and sing "Elvira." Donna had the biggest smile when family came to visit. I WILL miss you my friend. Peg County

Ma was the best! It was amazing how she handled all us kids growing up in 70s with a stern but loving hand. I really love how she accepted me as one of her own and welcomed me into her home. I will miss her caring, loving, gentle, "spit fire" personality. RIP Ma!
