Donna was born July 19, 1946, in Connellsville, a daughter to the late Lester and Doris Burton. She spent her childhood in Dawson, where she developed a love for cooking and family.
After completing her education, she pursued a career in nursing assistant and foster parenting, where she excelled and earned the respect and admiration of her colleagues and clients.

She was preceded in death by her sisters, Virginia and Jackie; nephew, Lee Blackwell; and niece, Jasmine.
Donna was also a beloved grandmother to several grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought her endless joy and happiness and cherished every moment.
Donna will be deeply missed by all who knewher. Her infectious smile, warm personality, and generous spirit touched the lives of so many. We take comfort in knowing that she is now at peace and reunited with those who have gone before her.
