Donna & I were both members of the Thunderbird Ski Club.
We did several things together over the years.  She lived right
off the main park where all the summer activity was.  She had a lovely condo.

Hello;

I have known Donna for over 30 years and am deeply saddened
by the news of her passing.  What a dynamic, kind, ethical, caring
and intelligent lady.   She was in my prayer group with Faye Menzer in the late 80's.

I grew up in my junior and senior years of school across the street. My memories of Donna are dated, but still strong nonetheless.  I remember Donna as the consummate fighter, she always strives to be the best at what she did. She played the clarinet and could make it sing like an angles voice. She played tennis with such a winning spirit, I truly believe she could have gone pro. The last time we talked was in 1977 and 1979 both times for hours. She shared her dream of becoming an educator, and she fulfilled that dream.  Donna was a true gift to us, I am certain she is lifted into the arms of God.   God bless Donna...

I was saddened to hear of Donna's passing just today. I remember when we were very little (about 6 and 8) and played school in her basement in the furnace room. Donna was the teacher and I was her student (I am 2 years older than her). And then to read about her life being an elementary school teacher. She knew at a very young age what she wanted to do in life.

My heart goes out to all of you. I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you in my prayers.

Love,
Annette (Monteleone) Montgomery

On behalf of the Capuchin brothers, I offer my deepest sympathies on the passing of Donna. It is truly humbling to receive memorial donations in honor of Donna's life. Please be assured of the brother's prayers for the entire Taylor family during this great time of grief. May perpetual light shine upon Donna.

Donna was such a fun loving person! We shared lots of good times in MI, KY and in the Outer Banks of NC! I have such wonderful memories that I will cherish forever. Donna was such an inspiration with her love for her family and humanity! Although we didn't see each other often, I will surely miss her. God bless you Donna, you have moved on to a better place, and I wish you peace, happiness and much love my friend. 

So many wonderful memories of my cousin, Donna.  I will always treasure our long talks at the Kowalski Family Christmas gatherings.  Donna’s kindness, sincerity, and enthusiasm will be missed. 

My friend since the third grade. Donna I will miss you.

Dear Taylor Family - I cannot believe how shocked and saddened I was and am to hear about sweet Donna’s passing - My heart is broken for you and everyone who knew Donna.  Donna  was my roommate for 5 years before I married my husband - she was the BEST roommate!  We tried diligently to stay in touch and have lunch at least once a year at Macy’s - one of her favorite places to meet!  

Donna & I shared some good times at the Thunderbird Ski Club.   She lived in Dearborn.  Every time I go past her home--I think of her.  She will be missed.

First cousins have a special bond.  I have many fond holiday memories in Hamtramck and summers in Lexington.  We enjoyed sharing teaching experiences and, more recently, our political musings.  So sad to lose her and to think of the difficult summer she experienced.  My sympathy and love goes out to Auntie Ag, Glen and Greg.  Donna will be missed.

Donna will be remembered.  I taught with her at Clemente. She enjoyed teaching Science with the children.  May she rest in peace. No more pain or suffering. 

It was a pleasure to have worked with  Donna at Roberto Clemente. She especially loved being a Science teacher and the kids looked so forward to being in her class.  So glad we were able to share time together at the retiree luncheons. You will forever be remembered. 

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. Please accept my deepest sympathies with passing of my cousin Donna Taylor.  May the peace that comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead.

Larry Taylor son of R. Duane Taylor
