A year later, Donna and Ron were married, adding two more children, a second Robert Dean and Tracey Jolene. Donna started attending Faith Bible Chapel in 1972 and served in the leadership team and other areas of helps ministry until passing. Donna always reminded her family and friends that “The greatest thing that ever happened to me is when Jesus came into my life, forgave me of all of my sins and promised me eternal life. I hope you all know him too”. Donna is survived by her husband, her 5 children and their spouses, and 12 grandchildren (with spouses) and 10 great grandchildren.
