Donna was love and light. What a joy to share moments with her. what a beautiful soul; i loved her.
I saw that she lived every moment for this day. Death is not the end.
My sincerest sympathy for Larry, her family, and all like me that loved her dearly.
After reading through the beautiful messages about Dona here, I can only agree that she truly was a shining light. She always welcomed me, a longtime friend of her son Gregg, with open arms, feeding me something delicious and sharing her joy, love of Christ, and humor. Sometimes she even called me and sang me a song! I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone with so much love to share with the world. I send my love to Gregg and the family for your profound loss.

If you were blessed to have interacted with Dona, then you were truly touched by an angel. Her calm voice and steady temperament were a true testament of her faith in God, and her faith she held close to her heart. She enjoyed sharing her love for Jesus and wanted people to know He is the Way, and the Truth, and the Life.
Although we are no longer able to see Dona in the physical sense, when you see an act of kindness, you see Dona.
Thank you, Dona, for sharing your love and may you rest in peace in the arms of your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Donna was truly one of a kind.
Her heart overflowed with kindness, compassion, and warmth for everyone she met — because in her world, there were no strangers. I had the privilege of working alongside her over the years at Exxon, Areva, and Framatome, and she was always the sunshine that lit up even the busiest days in the plant. Her laughter was contagious, her smile sincere, and her presence a reminder of goodness in this world. Donna had a gift for capturing life’s moments. Through her camera lens, she preserved memories of me and my family at so many company events — moments we now treasure even more because of her. But what made Donna shine brightest was her faith. She never hesitated to share her love for her Father, Jesus Christ, and she lived her life with a grace and confidence that reflected that love in all she did. Donna, thank you for the memories, the laughter, and the light you shared so freely. You will forever be remembered as a beautiful soul — a true example of faith, friendship, and joy.
Dona was so loving and happy at all our high school class reunions. She made you feel so special. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her❣️
I worked with Donna for 20 years. She was that kind, sweet grandmotherly type who never had a negative thing to say about anyone or anything. She was the heart and soul of the Richland site training department thru the 90’s and her teaching methods were effective, memorable; witty and enjoyable. Many teachers & trainers could take a lesson from her. She kept in good touch with us “stil working” after her retirement and was always happy to renew old acquaintances and make new one. Rest in peace; Donna.
I worked with Donna in Richland and always appreciated her attention to the tasks at hand and efforts to “see to them”. She was well known within the Company and impacted many others positively. She was a high energy person and even after retirement she continued to spear head activities at the annual retiree luncheons. Thank you for all the efforts Donna.
Sweet, sweet lady. Rest in peace kiddo.
Donna was a light shining to all of her coworkers. the special dinners she helped with when on shift were extraordinary. When she was working with the goldentimers group she always had a song and blew her whistle. she will greatly be missed
Donna was one of those rare people who makes a permanent and pleasant impression on everyone who meets her. She will be remembered by those who knew her as someone who just made life more pleasant.
Not every Company has had a Dona Belt! Dona was one of those people that everyone loved and felt at home with her. We would like to wish Larry the best as he has lost his Dona. Dona touched the hearts of so many. God bless her and her family.
Aunt Dona! You were always very special to me! You always made me feel loved and special! You were a good listener and always had encouraging words to say! I will miss all your silly ways at a party! We have all come to count on them! I’m glad you are with God and your boys of sound mind and no pain! I will really miss you!!! I love you!! Jill
Dona was a beautiful soul filled with love and laughter! I will miss her and her unique hugs and zest for giving to others! Truly blessed to call her “friend”! I know she is dancing a jig up there!
I am so sorry to learn of Donna’s
Passing. She was a beautiful, thoughtful, sweet lady. She was so good to my mother during her life time. She was a wonderful grandmother to my grandkids.
Sending love to all the family❤️
Dona: what a wonderful life of love and service to others you lived! Like so many other friends of your boys, you treated me like a son…and thankfully never judged (smile). And I grew to love you! When I got up early at Red Mountain…there you sat, already up at 5 am reading your bible. I called you “Mother Teresa” (MT) due to your faith and good deeds. RIP, M.T.! Say hi to Jeff for me and glad you can see Troy again. God gained an angel and we lost saint when you left us!
I was Donna’s hairdresser and when Donna arrived at the salon she was a light the shined brightly. We had such wonderful conversations and they were filled with so much love. Donna I miss your hugs and your laughter and you telling me that you loved me forever& ever. Love you forever & ever my friend .
My Auntie Dona was the Best!! Will miss her so much.
I met Dona at Club 40 in 2013, she was always so bubbly and I made sure to always talk with her. My sincerest sympathies to Larry and family.
