Donna loved ballroom dancing, crafts, puzzles, and gardening. She was a Friend of Bill Wilson. In the later years of her life she spent lots of time watching and feeding birds. She loved and nurtured many other animals over the years.
Donna was known for being a practical joker, sometimes scaring herself with rubber roaches in her purse. She had a quick wit and loved "spicy" jokes.
