She also leaves to mourn numerous nephews and nieces. Donna was predeceased by her parents, grandparents, and by her son Charlie and by her grandson Riley.

Still after all these years I miss your beautiful face, your scary stories. You were the worlds best story teller a gift not carried by many. But most of all I miss having tea and chit chatting. You are loved and missed ❤ - Posted by: Debbie (Niece Cousin) on: Oct 09, 2019
