Donna and John moved from Racine, WI to Crossville, TN in 2011 and to Lake Tansi a few years later. They became involved in golf, LTCA, and LTLC. Donna loved having garage sales as well as going to them. She worked as a hairstylist for 50 years, working the past seven years at FFG Good Samaritan Society. Donna loved people and cutting hair was her greatest asset. She loved to travel and buy beautiful jewelry. Some of her favorite activities were playing softball, tennis, racquetball, watching her lovely flowers bloom every spring, mowing the lawn on her rider, and talking to everyone on the women’s 7^th hole tee box.

She leaves behind many dear friends from Wisconsin and all of the wonderful people from our Lake Tansi and Sunset Ridge area in Crossville.

Family will receive friends on Friday, January 18, 2018 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Crossville First United Methodist Church with the memorial service for Donna to follow.
