January 9, 1957 – September 8, 2026. Donna was the best of us and the gifts we received from knowing her in this life will overflow to fill the inevitable void we will all feel without her. Teaching voice was her vocation and she answered her calling to help everyone find their own voice with encouragement and enthusiasm.

Donna fiercely loved her family, her beloved Cornelius (with whom she is now reunited), the girls (Rita, Debbie, and Toni), her students, and her many friends, all of whom loved her back with equal measure. She was also a HUGE fan of the Chicago Cubs, Halloween, and was proud to be a Ravenclaw!
