Donia was an active member of the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, where she served on the Altar Guild and participated in other charitable functions. Donia was a genuinely kind, generous and humble person with natural class and style. She enjoyed the beauty of nature, gardening, bird watching and escaping into a good book. As a loving and devoted mother, she encouraged her children and grandchildren to pursue their goals. She was an empathetic listener and a deep thinker. Her handwritten book of treasured thoughts and poems is a wonderful legacy for her family. Donia was devoted to her friends, family and most importantly, to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
