Donna grew up on the family farm where she learned her work ethic from her parents. She worked at Realist for many years, managing the stockroom. After that she came home to farm and milked cows for many years, until she retired. Donna enjoyed hauling hay and talking to her customers. She loved animals, especially her cats, loved shopping and collecting things. She also enjoyed taking trips to Florida, New Orleans and many trips with friends to the state fair. She treasured time with friends and family.
