I am so sorry for your loss. I was a volunteer with Donna @ Denver Botanic Gardens. She was a delightful person, always with a smile on her face. It was a pleasure to volunteer with her.
Remembering Donna from our time volunteering at the Denver Botanic Gardens . Not only knowledgeable and
helpful but a pleasure to be on the Docent Council with. Her memory will be around the Gardens.
I loved to chat with Donna so she could share her love of flowers. Karen Dreher
She was always so pleasant when she and Bill served as Treasurers for our K 8 square dance club.
I served with her husband Bill on the Denver Police Department. In the mid 70's there was a sting operation with regards to pawnshops in Denver run by Dist. Attorney Dale Tooley. We had no place to meet so Bill and Donna let us meet at their home. She was a gracious host to about 6 of us every morning. Coffee and donuts. Have never forgotten what a sweet lady she was.
