Donna was a member of the Damascus Friends Church, and the Friendship Sunday school class, where she taught Sunday school and helped with the church youth group, and volunteered her time wherever needed. Donna enjoyed baking, gardening, canning, freezing, crafting, word find puzzles and playing cards. She loved taking photos, but most of all, she loved taking care of Fred and her family. She also enjoyed her winters in Florida, as well as traveling with Fred. She will always be remembered for her wonderful smile and her ability to make you feel so welcomed in her home.
