My sincerest condolences
I worked with Donna at Henry Crown
Donna was a genuinely kind person who conquered hardship and adversity with her cheerfulness. After spending a few minutes with Donna you always walked away with a lighter step and feeling better.
May she be in Gods care.

Donna was a great lady. I enjoyed our "lunch room" talks through the years at Henry Crown and Company. I know that "family" was so very important to her. Also enjoyed seeing her at the Crown holiday parties after she retired. Very kind of family to make sure she was able to attend. She is missed. Our sympathies, Cathy Christmas and Dan Pusateri.

You will be missed Aunt Donna and were always loved by everyone who met you. Great Cubs fan and Ill never forget going to games and the convention with you! Having dinner at your house meant amazing food and a beautiful hand written menu. Small memories like that will always stay with me. With love, Brian and Gina Hermreck
