Donna loved life and had a great sense of humor. She loved her friends, reading, a hot cup of tea, and most of all her family. Her grand children and great grand children were her treasures and watching them grow was her blessing. Donna will also be remembered for her selflessness, gentleness, and her unconditional love.
