Donna's faith was the cornerstone of her life. She was a steadfast member of Hope Family Worship in Pageland, S.C., where she found great solace and joy in her church family. An avid gardener, Donna relished the time spent with her hands in the soil, nurturing her plants and flowers to life. She enjoyed doing yard work, where she found tranquility and satisfaction in the beauty and order she created around her home. Family gatherings by the pool were among Donna's favorite moments, as she cherished the laughter and stories shared with loved ones. Donna's love for her family was her most defining trait, and these moments by the pool encapsulated the joy she found in their company. Shopping was another of Donna's pleasures, especially when it involved finding a good deal. She had an eye for value and took pride in her ability to spot a bargain.
