Donna was a professional musician as well as a gas manifold checker. She worked for the former Philco Ford, Brooks Instruments and Gas Springs.

Along with her companion, she is survived by her sister Sandy Kanaovicz, her nephews Jeff Kanaovicz and Edward Kanaovicz along with her niece Shannon Moyer. She is predeceased in death by her brothers Richard and Jesse Dorn, Jr.

I´m so sorry for your loss. Donna and I were close friends during our working days with Gas Spring/STABILUS in Colmar. I visited with Donna one night in Kohls where we met up after many years. Our visit lasted a few hours in the vestibule. We laughed and reminisced about `work´ as we remembered. She was a wonderful person and great friend. She lived a very interesting life... well versed.
Again, my condolences. Linda Fitzgerald
