Donelle was an award-winning crocheter who loved making crafts for her kids and grandkids. Always busy in the kitchen, she was known in her family as an expert pie maker who could make a perfect crust. Donelle was a talented musician and lover of books, and she fostered these passions with her children and many others. She was an active volunteer in the community at the Red Lion Kaltreider-Benfer Library and the PA Council on Aging. She was a caring and talented nurse who worked at many hospitals across the country. She will be best remembered, though, as a devoted wife, and loving mother and sister.
