What a memorable professor my first year at Lesley College! Donna got me involved with the Writing Skills Center and helped me find my voice as a writer. She mentored me when I pursued an independent project on Willa Cather. Her kindness, patience and guidance is not forgotten all these years later. My sincere sympathies to her family!

My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time. As a Lesley alumni, she will be deeply missed.

My early years at Lesley overlapped with the end of Donna's career there, and she was always a supportive and wonderful mentor to me in the humanities department. Incredibly dedicated to her students' success, she also had constant encouragement and enthusiasm for colleagues all over campus. My condolences to her family.
