Donna was born on the Westpoint Military Academy campus in Westpoint, NY on Dec 12, 1943 as her father was in the service. While in the service their family was stationed at various bases throughout the United States. Her father’s last assignment was here in Dayton at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. While in Dayton, Donna attended St Helens Elementary School and graduated from Stebbins High School in 1961. She was a proud graduate of Miami Vally Nursing School, class of 1964, where she earned a degree as a Registered Nurse and retained her RN status throughout her life. While working as a nurse, she met her husband, Bob. They were married shortly after and began their family. Donna was the devoted mother of 4 children, whom she regularly supported in school and after-school activities. This love and support continued with her beloved grandchildren. While raising her children, Donna worked at the family business, Knollwood Garden Center. Vacationing included the family's favorite of Cape Cod; activities included reading on the beach, sampling seafood, hiking, and shopping at the Black Dog Café. This always reminded her of her beloved Black Labrador Retriever Max. Donna was a life-long dedicated parishioner of St. Luke Catholic Church, where she both served on the School Board and sang in the choir.
