Donna was a wonderful friend and minister during the years she was at Sperry Christian Church. I think of her often. She was there for me when my parents died 10 years ago and I was so grateful. Our deepest sympathy.

Donna was so fun to work with on various Disciples Women's activities. She always had a smile and kind word. Our prayers are with you.

Donna was such a great lady and taught me so much growing up. She became great friends with my grandmother, Doris Burks, at Rogers Heights and she did so much to help her out in any way she could. Donna will be greatly missed!

Donna was the sweetest, kindest woman I've ever known. When people would show up at our church with a sad story, she never once tuned them away empty handed, or asked if they were legit or not. "God knows their circumstances better than I do," was her philosophy. She was a shining example to us all.
