Donna and I shared much together over a period of 40 years. Donna was a stalwart feminist that fought for justice for women in the church and society! She risked it all for what she believed in and the world, the church, her community, we are all the better for her presence and commitment! Donna Quinn, Presente!

Years ago I was in a group called Women of Faith.
I was Lutheran along with others and Sr. Donna was one of the Catholic women. We learned from each other. She was a gem.
