Donna was first and foremost a reformed evangelical Christian and longtime member and worshipper at Immanuel OPC in Bellmawr, NJ.

She loved the Philadelphia Mummers, as her father was a Mummer growing up and the band would practice in her basement as a child. She would attend or watch the Philadelphia Mummer’s parade every year, keep track of the bands, and grade them herself.

Donna was a sports enthusiast and enjoyed watching sports of all types, particularly Philadelphia college and professional sports teams. She loved attending Philadelphia Phillies games. Her favorite sports to watch were English Premier League, tennis, and figure skating. One of her favorite Olympic events was curling.

She was an amateur birdwatcher and enjoyed viewing and photographing birds at the Edmond Forsythe Wildlife Preserve and Cape May Lighthouse State Park. Donna was an avid New Jersey lighthouse fan and would often visit lights in other states as well. She spent time working crossword puzzles, word searches, games on her Kindle, and re-runs of her favorite shows. She hated wearing socks.
