She was a lifelong farmer living on a local, small farm in Lawton, Michigan, raising dairy cattle and grapes on the same farm she raised her family, where they still reside. Donna was often seen at Rainbow Lanes in Paw Paw partaking in her favorite pastime: Bowling. She bowled for over 40 years and won many awards. She was one of the top bowlers in her league in her prime even achieving a 7-10 split! She bowled in the National Woman's Bowling Competition in Reno Nevada.
