Family was very important to Donna. She cherished each and every family gathering. She especially loved spending time with her grandchildren playing cards and board games and attending their sporting and school events. Her summers were spent with her husband, Joseph, at Salisbury Beach where they spent time with many friends who were considered their “Beach Family”.
