Donna's obituary
She worked for Nationsway trucking for over thirty years, and then after almost 20 years retired with Aurora Public Schools. She was a comforting face in the office that supplied all the keurig coffee pods, gallons of Double Bubble bubblegum, and lots of animal crackers. She was a wonderful asset to each company she worked for, and those jobs allowed her to support her family.
Donna had two daughters, Marlaina Ehrenzeller, and Christina Allen. Donna and her family lost Christina in January of 2014. Christina was married to Gary Allen, and they shared 4 children, who Donna loved and adored as her grandchildren; Adam, Bailey, Jaron and Carson. Donna loved to spend as much as time she could with her grandkids. They loved shopping, laughing, goofing around, running errands, having dinner, anything and everything to spend time together.
Donna had many interests that included gardening, perfecting her flowers, cross stitching, watching NCIS and 9-1-1, going to church, getting her nails done, getting her hair done, and being with family. We believe cross stitching was one of her favorites, and we like to believe she was one of the best at it.
Donna was strong, independent, feisty, and a woman of God. She raised two beautiful daughters as a single mother, and gave her everything, so that they could have it all. Every Sunday morning Donna was in church and Sunday School, surrounded by believers that encouraged and uplifted her. Anybody that met Donna knew that her infectious laugh could bring joy to any situation. If you had the honor to know Donna, you had the comfort of knowing you were never alone. She was an inspiration and truly one of a kind.

Donna is survived by her daughter Marlaina; son in law Gary; grand children Adam, Bailey, Jaron and Carson; brother Grady Sr. and his wife Sam; brother Gordon Jr. and his wife Barbara; brother Michael and his wife Carol; niece Elizabeth and her children; nephew Grady Jr. and his wife Jamie and children; nephew Garrett and his son; nephew Sunny and his children; niece Lisa and her husband Scott and children; niece Debra and her children; niece Heather; and niece Kristy.
