Donna was born in Anaconda on July 20, 1943. She attended local schools and graduated from Anaconda Central High School. She moved to Edmonton Alberta when she was 19 years old and lived there for the remainder of her life. Donna was a devout Catholic and made many close and wonderful friends through work and the Catholic community.

Donna will be remembered for her spirituality, positivity, humor, strength and independence. She was a cancer survivor for over 20 years until she finally succumbed to pancreatic cancer a month before her 80th birthday.

There are many good memories and much appreciation for the joy, kindness, family bonding time, fun experiences, learning and positivity in life because of her efforts. She will be greatly missed.
