Donna was a homemaker, she worked for a period of time at Cortland Acres Nursing home. But first and foremost, she was a mom, a grandmother and a wife. She loved us all unconditionally and her grandchildren were her life. Her patience, kindness and understanding touched all our lives and will forever be ingrained in our memories of her. She was a strong woman with a strong will and loving heart. Her greatest joy was having her kids and grandkids home to visit. We will miss her but know she will be watching over us and waiting for us to “come home.”
