Donna was determined to be in charge of her own life. At the young age of 16 she started her own in-home laundry business. She successfully continued that business for over 70 years until a stroke left her no choice but to retire. Aside from her family, her laundry business was her life. She would turn on her country music and dance around her ironing board while working on her customers' laundry. She had a playful spirit. She loved to play bingo, cards, or board games. She loved having a good time especially when that time was spent with her family. Her family meant everything to her. Near or far, she would travel whatever distance necessary to spend time with those she loved. Even in her final days, all she wanted was to be with her family.
Donna was truly one of a kind. She had a heart of gold and was never afraid to stand up for what she believed was right. She had a beautiful soul. She was so loved and she will be missed dearly.
