Donna was so very brave and courageous and I am proud to say I was her Mother-in-law. She said I was like a mother to her and I am so honored. I never heard her use a cuss word or speak unkindly about a person. We had a great relationship-doing flea markets, selling in a antique mall, going to the casinos and Las Vegas, playing bridge with my mom and aunt and working together. I miss her already but I will see her again in Heaven (John 11:25) and what a day that will be!! Barbara Jean Propst
Donna always made me smile. She was my sister-in-law and soon became a trusted and valued friend – one that could never be undone by divorce or a move across the country. I remember well our working together at Meiners; she in the Bakery (where her nickname soon became, Pie) and me in the checkstand. She was a great Aunt to my son and spent numerous hours playing Super Mario Brothers-cracking us up as she would move her arms with every leap Mario made-as if her actions were somehow helping him along. She was so very kind. I was lucky to have known her and am better because of it.
Donna was by far my favorite Aunt, i spent alot of time with her when i was a kid and they are honestly some of my favorite and happiest memories in life Period. she was so much fun and had such a good heart i miss her already and hope she knows how much we all love her and miss her down here. Playing her in mario was an absolute habit everytime i was over there which was alot. i could sit and watch her play for hours or if there was a part i was stuck on i’d jus scream for Aunt Donna and she get me past the rough part. Donna you’ll always be my Aunt weather divorced or not and you will always have a special place in my heart. i miss you and i love you.
Love your Nephew

Donna was a great, easygoing sister-in-law. I have fond memories of her when she and my brother came to visit me in New England. We took a cruise, went to some flea markets and had a great time. I really liked a pair of earrings but thought them too expensive….before they left , she surprised me with them! Such a thougthful and kind caring person she was and I have been blessed to call her my sister…When it was time for them to go, we went down to the ocean so she could take some sand and shells home. I was sorry to be losing their company. So many other things I have memories of fun with her, such as when we went to Vegas and she showed us around and so much fun we had! I feel so very sad and empty that she has gone, but she will never ever be forgotten. Rest in peace.
Love , your sister

I remember working with Donna at Meiners sunfresh in the bakery in the mid to late 80s to mid 90s. She seemed to be so quiet all the time. But when you needed to ask her a question about something she was there to answer it. She did love her mario brothers game she could sit there for hours and play that game . I know that i will miss her here. but i know i will see her again when its time for me to go home…. Miss you Donna Roberta Barrett
