Donna loved spending time with family. She enjoyed beading, reading, playing bingo, playing cards, and being on her phone. Donna was as honest as they come and would tell you how it is. She was funny, mean, and tough, her wheelchair never held her back from anything. She liked to ride around and listen to music. Donna was always busy sweeping, doing dishes, or cooking. She was an excellent cook and enjoyed trying new meals. She loved wrestling and laughing with her girls and reminiscing with her cousins. Donna will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
