Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I remember riding the school bus with Donna for 12 years during our time at C & M and I spent many a day at the Becker House. Donna was always such a kind soul.

We are so sorry for the loss of our cousin. Donna was a very sweet person. Every year she would send a Christmas card, she never missed a Christmas until this awful unforgiving disease took her, but now she is healed. Even though she couldnt heal here on earth, I hope that Herschel B & family will find comfort in knowing she is healed & you will see her again someday. Jesus has her now & she is smiling down at you all! Love you all!
Donna was a quiet and compassionate nurse. Always a smile. She was a pleasure to work with at Liberty Hospital. She fit well into the role of PST nurse.
Amy , So sorry to hear of your loss, sending hugs and prayers your way.

I was very sad to hear about Donna and my prayers go out to all family for the loss. She was a very quiet person but so kind and thoughtful. We would play at the Becker picnics when growing up and I always looked forward to that each year. Lots of good memories for all, I’m sure.
Herschel and family.
