Donna was the epitome of grace and warmth. Her family meant the world to her, and she spent countless hours creating lasting memories with her children and grandchildren. Whether it was playing at the park with her grandchildren or cheering them on at sports and competitions to celebrating birthdays and holidays, she had a special way of making everyone feel at home and loved.
She had an unwavering faith, which guided her throughout her life. She will be remembered for her generous spirit, her infectious smile, and the gentle wisdom she shared with all who were fortunate enough to know her.
