In 1980, her husbands job transferred them to Sparks, NV where she continued to provide in-home childcare; she loved all of her kids dearly and retired in 2013.

To a great lady that helped my husband and I raise our kids. She is one of the reasons that Karey and Nick have become the adults they they are. Donna will always have a special place in our hearts. With deepest sympathy John and Lydia Sarlo
