Donna Hole

Donna Hole worked with me in Tampa, Florida for several years when I was the director of the historic preservation board there. This was before she moved to Maryland to become the preservation resource there that she had been to Tampa. I only recently learned of her passing, a real loss in so many ways... To her husband Doug, my condolences.

Donna was so much fun to be around - Don and I had such great times hiking and camping with Donna and Doug. She was such an accomplished woman and added so much to the historical preservation community. There was so much love in their family, especially shown by Doug in Donna's later years. I hope she will give Dillon a hug from me.

Donna was a bright, happy, lovely woman. She welcomed guests with open arms and always made everyone feel important. She was a wonderful, loving wife who loved her husband with all her heart, as he loved her. We are so happy that Donna and Douglas had each other. We are happy to have known her. May she soar with the eagles.

She was smart; she was funny; she had a storehouse of information in her brain; she loved Doug with all her heart; she provided caring hospitality whenever we visited; she acted like everyone would be her friend of course; she was tough and strong in her vocation; she had deep spiritual faith. I am thankful to have been part of her life.

Donna had one of the most engaging smiles and laughs of anyone i knew.
smart,witty,fun. We will miss Donna and remain ever so grateful to Douglas for his steadfast caring and abiding love for Donna in recent years..they were quite a team...
