Donna was a wonderful positive force for our class of '68 at Clarke College.  I loved her devotion to her pets.  So sorry she is gone.

We were like a second mother to me and Katie, Donna, and like a sister to our mom.  Thank you for a lifetime of love and happy memories.  We are so grateful that we had you in our lives.  Love you always.  Love, Lori Chappell Szeszycki

My sympathies to Donna's loved ones.  I was a neighbor on 110th & Campbell.  I remember Donna, her Mom & her Dad so well - such a great family.

I remember Donna from Clarke College, always smiling and sharing a laugh.  Rest in peace, Donna.

Donna hired me MANY years ago at Time Life. She was a great mentor and so much fun! In later years we were separated by many miles but managed to get together every couple of years. Donna, Pat and I would play pinochle for hours. She had a big heart and was a most loyal friend to those close to her.. She will be missed.

Gone! but not forgotten. Those God keeps in his memory they become precious in His eyes. Ps. 116:5 I am sorry for your loss.

Am remembering all the good times we had with you and the others in Chicago at Time Inc. What a family we were. You will be missed dearly, but thought of often as you were a very important part in my life at Time.

What wonderful memories you gave to me during our Time Inc careers!  My prayers go with you.

Always a south-side Irish girl,kind and generous
