I worked with Donna at OMC in the late 80’s / early 90’s. She was a great nurse, and I learned a lot from her. My deepest sympathy to her family.

Jerry and family: I had the privilege of working with Donna for many years. She was a highly dedicated nurse and supervisor. She worked so hard at building the new surgical suites . I will never forget her. I will always owe her much gratitude for the many times she helped me in surgery. She made many sacrifices for the hospital, patients, and staff with her untiring work ethic. The community has suffered a major loss with her passing. She was one of a kind and possible to replace. We will truly miss her.

My sympathy to all. I remember Donna from the early 1980’s when she helped to form the Ostomy Club at OMC. She was a wonderful, compassionate and professional woman.

I worked with Donna when she was right out of RN school and I from LPN school ’76.
She was a great person and I enjoyed growing up with her in surgery with Dr Coat’s fresh out of Med school also and with Big Daddy, Dr Langvin.
May she rest in peace. Cherish her memory.
