After raising her children, Donna returned to the work force and retired from St. Mary’s Hospital where she worked in the insurance claims office.

She was involved in many guilds, a den mother, teaching catechism, and other activities involving her children. She enjoyed big band music and game night with her family. She loved a good glass of chardonnay, chocolate, and listening to Frank Sinatra.
