Donna was a member of New Union Church of Christ of Manchester; she was a Christian woman who loved the Lord with all of her being. She loved her family and they loved her. Donna loved to sew and make crafts to share with family and friends. Her specialty was handmade cards that have become keepsake treasures for those who have them. She loved her many cats and dogs and truly, animals of any kind. There was never one left to its own, if she could make a place for it. Her heart was amazing.
