Donna loved to cook and worked as a cook at damaged state hospital. She also cooked for meals on wheels in Tualatin. She loved to help people so she would pick up food boxes for the Tualatin food pantry.
Another job that Donna enjoyed doing was monitoring parties in the city church and the senior center.
At the JPC senior center in Tualatin she taught crocheting classes on Thursday's and on Friday's she started a bingo event in the mornings where she was the caller so that people from other senior centers in the area could go and play. If some of the seniors couldn't find a way to get to bingo, Donna would pick them up on her way so that they could participate.
Donna loved people no matter their differences and she always tried to find good in people and show everyone love.
