She was raised in St. Louis, Missouri, and then moved with her family to Lebanon, Missouri, when she was five years old.

Truman Veterans Hospital. She was also a devoted homemaker to her family throughout the years.
Donna had attended Forum Boulevard Christian Church in Columbia, Missouri.
In her spare time she enjoyed boating on the Lake of the Ozarks, riding horses, and was an avid fan of the St. Louis Cardinals and Rams. She possessed a delightful sense of humor and had hopes of owning a cherry red Corvette, and going to Hawaii. She also loved her dog, Hershey. Her family was very important to her and she especially enjoyed spending time with her daughter.
Donna was a loving mother, daughter, sister, and aunt, and was a caring neighbor, co-worker, and friend. We celebrate her life and know that her family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories she created for them.
