I remember Donna as being a great friend and neighbor to my mother Edna. These two ladies made a great team when it was their turn to make the community breakfast at the recreation room where they lived.

Donna was a neighbor and friend of my mother ( Edna McElroy ) when she lived off Treeline. I visited with Donna a lot. She was a good friend to my mother. I remember helping them with their breakfasts they cooked at the community room. They were a hoot. I lost my mother in 2008. Now mom and Donna can laugh together again. RIP Donna.
