I send my condolences and love to Donna's family. I first met Donna in 7th grade when she moved to Monticello. We became good friends then and throughout high school. I fondly remember many sleep overs at her home and loved getting to know her wonderful family, especially Rhonda and her mother, Mary. It was a joy to reconnect with Donna last fall at our 50th class reunion. I treasure our last talk and am grateful we had that time together. She shared the memory of coming to my house trick-or-treating in tears because her dog had just been hit by a car. But there she was, out trying to enjoy the holiday anyway. She always had a joyful spirit, smile, and a great laugh.
I will be out of town and cannot make the service, but please know I am lifting up the family in prayer now and in the days to come. --Bonnie (Yockey) Swango

Lieber Donald. Ich sende dir und deiner Familie mein Beileid. Ich durfte Donna 1999 bei meinem Besuch in Rantoul mit " Routes to the Roots" kennenlernen.

Donna and Danny have done more for us than there is room to list. Donna was more than a sister to me. She was a friend, confidant, and a second mom when I was very young. She was the planner, leader and matriarch of our family. She was loved by so many and can never be replaced. I will miss her every day for the rest of my time on earth.

Es trifft mich zu tiefst das Donna von uns gegangen ist. Ich habe ihre Art wie sie ist und ihren Humor und ihr lachen sehr geliebt. Ich wünsche allen Familienangehörigen viel Kraft für die Zukunft.

My sister, Donna, was everything to so many people. She had the biggest heart and always put everyone above herself. She was my oldest sister, my confidant, my voice of reason, and one of my closest friends. I will miss her the rest of my life. Rest in peace sweet sister. ❤️

Donna was a perfect older sister. She would let me tagalong to ballgames and other events even though I am sure she didn’t want to. She always thought of everyone else before herself which became even more obvious within the last couple of years when we were taking our parents to various events and appointments. I can’t remember one time when she complained about her health. Donna will be missed terribly by all of us. We love you ❤️.
