She fellowshipped with St. Paul Community Church where all knew and loved her. She was welcomed with open arms as she searched for salvation and the word. Donna was a people person with a warm and kind heart, giving her last to strangers. It would be remised not to mention how she would give her last to strangers or those she barely knew. Donna loved life, her family and most of all her children.
