A passionate advocate for nature. Donna enjoyed hiking at Little Buffalo State Park, Beltsville Lake, and

Leaser Lake. She enjoyed driving through the mountains and exploring the historic town of Jim Thorpe

(Mauch Chunk). Donna loved attending the Mauch Chunk Opera House to see tribute bands.

Donna was a very passionate individual who loved discussing politics and attending rallies. She found joy

in going to festivals, fairs, and farmers markets and loved listening to live music. Donna also had a

fondness for Mediterranean cuisine and loved exploring new places and traveling. Additionally, she had

a deep spiritual side and cherished spending quality time with her loved ones.Â

Her family would like to extend a sincere and heart filled thank you to all her friends and family who

visited her while she was in the hospital. Thank you to Lidia at DaVita Dialysis and Orwigsburg Nursing

and Rehabilitation Center who helped and cared for Donna over the last couple of months. Without

their help Donna's recent challenge would not have been so comfortable.
