Donna was an avid reader; and was admired for her quilting and baking skills; in particular, her homemade bread and 'raised' doughnuts. In 1999, Donna retired from the Green Bay Board of Education, in Foodservice (at Lombardi Jr High & Southwest HS).
Donna's family wishes to extend their gratitude to all of the compassionate caregivers at Renaissance, Rennes, and Birch Creek. We won't forget your kindness.
In lieu of flowers, suggested memorials to a charity that supports the well-being of 'kids', the Lewy Body Dementia or American Parkinson's Disease Association.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, October 13th from 3 - 6 PM at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church, 2771 Oakwood Drive, Green Bay. A Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 6 PM.
