After graduation, Donna entered Una’s Academy of Cosmetology to earn her license in Cosmetology and employment with Una’s Beauty shop, as well as marrying her high school sweetheart, Jeff, in 1969. Donna decided to stay home with her girls as a homemaker for 13 years, and then reentered the work force at Edwards Co. in Pittsfield where she stayed for 18 years.

She loved going to camp with Jeff and their 4 wheeler adventures, their dog Dory always ready to ride.

Alley and fiancé Jenna Nesbit of Canaan, Lacianah C. Belanger and husband David J. Belanger II of Canaan, and Emily P. Baker and husband Justin L.H.

Williams of Vero Beach Fla.; nephew William M. Williams of Vero Beach Fla., niece, Denise A. Williams of Vero Beach Fla.

Gone to be with the love of her life, so many lives here will be changed without that smile of hers. Selfishly, our hearts are broken, we all love you- rest in peace.
