Donna was born in Chicago, Illinois on January 30th, 1941. She moved to California when she was young and remained a resident of California until moving to Colorado in 1994.
Donna graduated from Westmont College before marrying her husband (Joseph) of 58 years in 1962 in Los Angeles. Donna and Joe moved to rural Orange County after the birth of their first child. Donna focused her life on her family, raising two loving children and supporting her husband. She drove many miles and spent many hours taking her children to karate, baseball, music lessons, and ballet lessons, in addition to being a caretaker of guinea pigs and the family dog. Donna always enjoyed the outdoors, including annual camping trips with her family. In her later years in Colorado Springs she enjoyed hiking and snowshoeing. In her last months she relished hiking in Cathedral Pines.
Everyone who met Donna said the same thing - she is the nicest person they ever met. She was kind and giving and always put the wellbeing of others first. Donna is survived by her husband, Joseph; her son, Paul; Paul's significant other, Marla; her daughter, April; her son-in-law, Burt; her sister, Bonnie; and loving nephews and nieces. She was preceded in death by her parents Donald and Erma.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions to the Neuroendocrine Tumor Research Foundation.
