Donna had a friendly and inviting nature that made everyone feel at ease. She loved deeply and would do anything for those she cared about.
The happiest moments for her were spent with family and friends. She also enjoyed a delicious hamburger at BBQs, playing cards with a winning hand, hoping for luck in bingo games, and throwing darts just right.
