Donna was a very loving and caring woman who was like a mother to so many. If you knew her, you know she was known for her greatest gift of cooking. She would make tacos and sweets and take them to her local grocery store, pharmacy, and neighbors to spread joy and smiles. She was always checking on others that were going through their own trials in life. She touched so many lives. Donna was always thinking of ways to make others happy. She will always be known for being straight forward and her ability to make others laugh. Her way of showing it's better to laugh than cry.  Her Lord Jesus granted her the gift she used so well and always faithful in encouraging others she knew. She will be greatly missed. We love you cray cray!

A memorial service will be held at 2:00 P.M. on Sunday, October, 11, 2020 at Doeppenschmidt Funeral Home in New Braunfels.
