As a young woman, Donna attended college and worked several different jobs to support her then growing family. She enjoyed coaching youth basketball for which she volunteered several years, she was a huge fan of crime shows and crime show Facebook groups in her later years, and she was very family orientated and loved spending time watching and cheering on her grandkids in all of their activities; she also said her true friends were her grandkids. She loved having the opportunity to become a stay at home grandma and being able to watch them as much as possible made her feel blessed and at home. Donna truly loved her family, more than some will ever know. Donna Janine Eye will be missed by all who were blessed to know and love her.
