She was also an avid University of Michigan and Michigan State fan. Donna found joy in dancing, especially to "Proud Mary" with Bob or anyone else she could find. She enjoyed bowling, golfing, and playing cards. She also volunteered at St. Pius X Catholic Church. Donna touched many lives and will be dearly missed by her family and all who knew her.
