She later began a 20+ year career at the Maine Correctional Center in Windham from where she retired. Donna loved spending time with family, having Sunday dinners and sitting on the porch in the summer. She moved to South Carolina in the Fall of 2019 where she was able to enjoy sitting on her patio more frequently throughout the year and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Donna loved to travel! She raved about the beauties and her experience in Ireland. She enjoyed many trips to York Beach with her grade school friends as well as her trips to Arizona and North Carolina to spend time with two of her closest lifelong friends. No matter the season, Donna always knew the weather and was continuously prepared with the report of the day.
