Aunt Donna was a big part of my childhood from baking days with my mom to spending time with her and Uncle Charlie and Sharon and Kevin on weekend camping trips. I also frequently spent the night,especially on New Year's Eve. I remember Aunt Donna helping Sharon and I sew a shirt, using fabric and a pattern. We also used to bake things together. She was patient to work on things like that with us.She was a fun and loving aunt and I surely will miss her. I'm so glad I came to PA and got to spend some time with her on Christmas Day. She was loved by all of our family. Glad she's reunited with Uncle Charlie now.

Condolences to Kevin and Sharon and their families. Donna grew up here in West Union. She and Charlie built the little house on WWRailroad road and built a life together. Donna was the first baby sitter that Amy and I had.(The Twins) She will be missed by all who loved her.

Donna and my Mom were best friends. I feel so bad that I can't be there for the memorial, my wife and I sending our love and prayers to all the friends and family.I don't think I can drive that far and make it back now due to health complications. Prayers to all.
