She is also survived by her brother, Edmund Tifft and sister-in-law Debora Tifft.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Alvin Tifft. 

Terry Geeron, Donna's love of her life, expresses: Donna was an angel seeking her wings here on earth. She loved her family, her dogs and me. Lucky me. Over the years that I have known her I watched her grow and evolve into a joyful spirit. She worked at becoming a better person which she achieved and beyond. Donna got her wings and now she is in the service of a higher order. She is in the arms of her creator and filling heaven with her love. Love on, sweet lady. Love Terry …
