Donna Jean “The Queen” as she was affectionately called by family enjoyed shopping, music, singing, planting and growing flowers, collecting photos, but most of all doing hair. She was known for her famous “macaroni & cheese” which she was often requested to make during family dinners, which she enjoyed as well. Her interests were her grandchildren and simply enjoying life. Donna was vibrant, care-free, happy, cared for others, and very straightforward. Even when her health began to fail, she continued to smile and say, “I’m Ok”.
