Donna was born on August 25th, 1954, to Harold "Cork" and Irma (Haga) Jordan in Georgetown, IL. Her childhood was spent working and playing on the family farm with her three other siblings. After graduating from Georgetown High School, she completed a degree in Medical Technology from Eastern Illinois University. She married Gregory Robert Andrews on March 22nd, 1980, at First Church of Christ in Georgetown IL. Together they had four children who she stayed home to raise in Quincy IL. She was a loving mother to all who always had room for extra guests at the dinner table.

Donna was an avid gardener, seamstress, crafter, quilter, baker, cook, and outdoorswoman. She enjoyed long walks through the park, the family farm, playing card games, spending time with family, her grandchildren, her dog Ollie, and friends. Her various wildlife roasts, stroganoffs, stews, and gravies were the focal point of many feasts with family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her father Harold "Cork" Jordan, and Mother Irma Ilene Jordan.
