  I was very saddened to learn of Donna's passing. I had the great pleasure of knowing her through her medical treatment. I will fondly remember her as a very lovely lady with a very warm heart. My deepest sympathy to her family and loved ones.

  Lemons. Donna was allergic to lemons. What a random piece of information to know about someone. Kindness...faith...and hard work also describe this determined woman. I do not remember the particulars, only the phone call I received about costumes for the children's play at the Church. Donna bartered her gardening skills for my sewing skills and we both set to work. We blessed each other. She planted lavender by my front door and a beautiful purple flower in the back. Donna loved God, her beloved family, and her Church. Father, comfort Jim and the children. Give them your wrap around love as each one of them continue to walk with you.

  Dear Jim and family. I was so saddened and heartbroken to hear of Donna's passing. She was such a wonderful soul and beautiful gift to us all. I got to see that when Jim, you and Donna took us through pre marital counseling. So many great nuggets from that experience. She will truly be missed. Our prayers and condolences go out to the entire family. Mark and Brandine Peyton

  I was so heartbroken to hear this sad news! My memories of Donna date back to childhood as she was friends with my sister (Marcy). She was always so fun, and wore a beautiful smile. As an adult she was such a lovely soul, who radiated unwavering and truly inspirational faith, even to those of us in the background. Praying for your family....that her love, faith, kindness, will shine though this difficult time and comfort you. Grief is the price we pay for loving so deeply. We are privileged to have experienced such love! God bless all of you! Lori (Lachut) Hurni

  I was deeply saddened by the loss of Donna. She had a special way of making people feel seen and cared for. I'll always remember the time we sat together at a wedding-laughing, sharing memories, and simply enjoying each others company. It was one of those beautiful ordinary moments that feels more special now. My deepest sympathy to all of her family. Sincerely, Joanie Lehotsky Tracey

  Donna gave me my first furniture painting lesson years ago. From that moment I knew I found my niche! I ended up starting a furniture refinishing business of my own that grew into something I could have never dreamed of. She was an incredible lady and I loved learning from her— I still have the table she helped me finish in my living room. I will think of her often when I see it. My thoughts and prayers are with her family❤️

  I met Donna when she painted our cabinets. She was a bright light and was happy to share her faith. She was wonderful and caring. She even poured her love into our dogs when she dog sat for us.
