Donna enjoyed going to Native American pow wows, preparing holiday dinners for her family and friends, watching classic Western movies, enjoying her dogs, eating a good catfish, and downing a good margarita. For over thirty years she suffered from MS (multiple sclerosis) and the many complications that continued to arise from that disease.
