Donna was a very loyal mother and grandmother. She loved her grandkids and could be found at each and every one of their sporting events- no matter the weather or how she was feeling, she was there. She worked as the Assistant Branch Manager at First of America Bank for over 16 years and as a cashier at Meijer in Charlotte, where she developed many life-long friendships.
