Donna devoted over 40 years of her life to Clintondale Schools in Child Care services. Her dedication and passion for nurturing children left an indelible impact on countless lives.

Donna attended Detroit Pershing High School, where she laid the foundation for her future success as a compassionate caregiver. Her education played a vital role in shaping her empathetic nature and unwavering commitment to others.

Known by many as a mother and grandmother figure, Donna's door was always open to those in need of refuge. Her home served as a sanctuary for those seeking solace, comfort, or simply a place to belong. She graciously welcomed anyone into her life with open arms and an open heart.

When Donna wasn't caring for others or working tirelessly in the school system, she found joy in spending time with her family at their lakefront house at Clear Lake in West Branch Michigan. These summer retreats were filled with laughter and cherished memories as they enjoyed the serenity of the lake together.

In her leisure time, Donna loved playing cards with family and friends. These spirited games brought everyone closer as they engaged in friendly competition and shared countless laughs. Her grandkids held a special place in her heart, and she relished every moment spent playing games and creating treasured family traditions with them.

Additionally, Donna enjoyed strolling through craft shows with her friends. She delighted in exploring the intricate workmanship of various artisans, admiring their creativity and skill. These outings were a source of inspiration for her own artistic pursuits and allowed her to connect with like-minded individuals who shared her passion for craftsmanship.
