In May of 1988, Donna married the light of her life, Ron. Donna was the star of Ron's show and affectionately referred to Donna as his princess. She loved family get-togethers and her favorite place to be was with her family. Though loyal to her people, she had a beautiful personality and never met a stranger. Her warmth and loving nature could convince anyone to love her. Donna was always smiling and cheerful.

Donna was a member of Central Assembly of God in Cumberland for 35+ years. She gave her heart to the Lord at a Billy Graham crusade in Washington, DC, at the age of 17. She loved watching the PTL Club with Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker and The Price is Right. She loved to travel, enjoyed camping, and was always up for sleeping on the beach.
