She was the accountant for the Boulder Public Health Department, where she worked diligently for many years. In 2023, Donna moved to Madison, WI to be near her son Jody and his family. She later moved to the Capitol Lakes retirement community, where she ended her days.
Donna was preceded in death by her mother and father, her husbands, and all of her eight siblings. Donna is survived by her sons, Jody McCann (Peg), Kent McCann (Stephanie), and Tim McCann (Traci); her step-daughters, Laurie and Carlotta Phenix; her ten grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
