Donna was my " boss" at Mercy OB for many years. She was a excellent nurse, an effective leader and a good friend. I am so sorry I didnt know she had gone to the Alverno and that I missed her services. Jim, Jimmy and Stacy and all the grandkids meant the world to her. So sorry for your loss.

My sympathy to Donna's family. I also graduated from Columbus Hospital School of Nursing and a few years ago when coordinating a school reunion I had emailed Donna. While she was not able to attend, it was lovely reminiscing about old time nursing. I extend my sympathy as well as that of all Columbus Grads. Sincerely, Pat Reding Class of 1967

Donna and Jim gave me my first cross necklace. I will cherish it always. I know my parents were there to meet Donna when she entered the gates of heaven. Always in my heart. Gods blessings to the Timmer family. Love Always Janice Orndorf Falkenstein
