Donna was born in Rochester, NY, on December 6, 1931. She spent two of her most exciting years in New York City, where she met her husband Martin. They married and moved to Rochester near Donna's family, and had their daughter Julie. Donna worked at the University of Rochester Medical Center and River Campus for much of her career. She graduated from the U of R in 1985 with honors.
Donna is survived by her daughter Julie Lawrence of NYC; dear friend and caretaker Ruth Russell; cousins Elaine and Leonard Simon, Ann and Joel Shamaskin, and Andy Simon; niece Romaine Sheets Wilson, nephew Nicholas Sheets, nephews Todd and Matthew Wilding; friends Kimberly Kalish and Samantha Catholdi. Services and visiting are not planned at this time. We are grateful for the support and love of all. Contributions may be made to the ALS Association or a charity of your choice.
