Intensely loyal to friends and family, Donna was known as a superb and gracious hostess. She loved to entertain.

Donna had a unique connection with her many pets. Georgie Girl (an old English sheepdog), Sugar Baby & Kelly (parrots that lived for 51 and 29 years), and multiple cats (most lived past 20 years). Also, a baby alligator.

There are many incredible stories of Donna interfacing with (and often assisting) wildlife that inhabited or frequented our property. Deer, fox, squirrels, bobcats, bird life, and waterfowl that resided or visited our pond.

On recent occasions, Donna came through with unexpected strength and determination that enabled her to overcome several medical procedures and challenges, often surprising her doctors and medical providers.

Special thanks to the doctors, nurses, and medical staff who provided outstanding assistance and support.

Also, to Chris for her care and companionship to Donna in recent years.
