Most of all, Donna loved her son Peter, Peter's wife Karen and their many adopted kittens.  Donna was an animal lover long before it was in style.

Donna Jane was in public education all of her adult life.  She earned her Master's Degree from Drury University. Learning and sharing her passion for books was a gift from her heart which she freely gave to anyone and everyone.

There will never be another Donna Jane.  She loved animals, books, old movies, antiquing, gooey food and chocolate donuts.  She made a positive difference in many people's lives and will be forever missed and treasured.

May God hold you in his arms and grant you peace.
