Think of them as porch lights welcoming her safely home.’

Donna was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church and her love for the Lord was immeasurable.

Donna’s greatest joy was her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed going and cheering at their sporting events and loved when they would come to visit. You never left hungry as their was always a road pop or some other delicious treat Gram would insist you needed.

Five grandchildren; Allison (Dustin) Kennedy, Annie (Dan) Nelson, Andrew LeSage, Ethan (Jackie) LeSage and Halie LeSage, seven great grandchildren; Lillian, Emmett, Sawyer, Ada, Lenna, Lydia, and Quinn, and a special friend Elizabeth (Brad) Kowieski.
