    So saddened about this. I will always remember Donna as a woman of quick wit, strength, sarcasm, & kindness who tolerated no bull from anyone ever. She was always incredibly nice to me. She would give the shirt off her back, but her kindness was not a weakness by any means – and God help anyone who mistook it as such! She was a woman whose love of family was a force not to be reckoned with. As a friend to one of her brothers, the love I witnessed her give to him, I believe every sibling should be so lucky as to have a sister/brother care so much about their overall well-being. She made me laugh & she made the best homemade pan-fried burgers I have ever eaten in my whole life!

    Donna was a gem & she will be truly missed. My deepest condolences to her family & to everyone who loves her.

    Donna will be missed by everyone who knew her. She had an innate ability to turn a frown upside down, and before you knew it she’d have you laughing. My condolences to her family and friends. RIP Donna Keith.
