Donna was one of the good ones. She was always more than kind to me and I am sad to learn of her passing. My prayers go out to her sons. God bless you Chris, and Troy.

I lived next door to Donna in 1978 & I just loved my neighbor. She was such a good mother to those boys & she was in great shape from bouncing on that trampoline so much - being outside with Troy.  We had wonderful conversations - I've often wondered about her.  Now I know.  RIP, dear Donna.  You were loved by many.

I was sad to see that Donna's family has lost her. I always liked Donna and she was fun to be around.  Always talked of her family, and enjoyed the little things that life had to offer.
 Always cheerful.  I'll miss her very much.

What a great lady indeed! Donna was always there when you needed her (or in my case when my mom needed her) to get me to the hospital for more stitches.
I loved knowing Donna and she will be greatly missed.

Donna was a wonderful friend for 34yrs, her smile was contagious! Our years of working together at the Challenger Cafe and the Harrington Hause, were always full of laughter an surprises. My visits with Donna the last 1 1/2 yr while in Davenport, I never left without a Hug and a Smile. 
Donna has climbed "The Stairway to Heaven" Peace be with You Girl Friend! Love to the Family at this difficult time!

So very sorry to hear of Donna's passing.My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family,especially you Dixie.

It's been a long time since I've seen Donna, but when I did, she always had a smile on her face and the greatest sense of humor.  She sure was sweet and it's true, she'd give anybody a hug which was another very sweet thing about her.  I remember playing softball with her a couple times in Harrington & Davenport when I was still in High School and back then, it was "GO PANTHERS".  My thoughts and prayers are with all of her family members and all the people that loved her so much.

What a wonderful lady with one of the best smiles ever. I loved knowing her, working with her and sharing smiles and laughs. Hugs to her family.

I will always have fond memories of working with Donna at the Challenger. She loved her family and she loved life...what a wonderful lady! My condolences to the family.

My sincere condolences to the entire family. Donna was a sweet, caring person. Sorry I can't attend her service. You are all in my prayers.
