In her professional life, Donna dedicated three decades to Michigan Bell leaving an indelible mark with her hard work and dedication. Her commitment enabled her to retire early embarking on countless adventures alongside her cherished husband James. Their travels took them far and wide, with many winters spent in Florida, where Donna generously volunteered at a local elementary school, touching the lives of many young children with her warmth and kindness.

A woman of many talents, Donna had a passion for crafts and baking, always delighting in sharing her creations with friends and family. Her greatest joy came from making others smile and her selflessness endeared her to all who had the privilege of knowing her.
