Born on December 1, 1954. in Cincinnati Ohio, it is with heavy heart that we share that Donna departed this world on June 27, 2025, while at Tidewell Hospice in Bradenton. Donna was a hard worker all her life. From her involvement at many plant nurseries to her move to auto parts where she worked at Southeast Auto Parts in Oneco then Tropical Cadillac of Bradenton where after 18 years she retired a few years ago.
Donna dedicated her life to many joys that included frequent trips to Lake Lure in the mountains of North Carolina and her love of pets, especially cats.
Throughout her life, Donna was a pillar of strength and inspiration to those she loved and is survived by her Husband Ron, sisters, Karen Gruber and Linda Hutchinson along with her brother Donnie Pendergraph.
