During high school, Donna started working at Nan King Chinese in Glassboro and later worked for 3 years at Fields Department Store in Mantua. She was a bartender at the Pine Tavern in Upper Pittsgrove for 30 plus years.
Donna enjoyed candle-making, liked decorating, and was an excellent cook. She loved to sing and dance, was always concerned with helping people, and was an excellent self-taught hairdresser. Donna met Charlie while attending bible study at Faith Fellowship. She loved taking care of cats, and eventually, people started dropping off feral cats to her. The females were always spayed, and Donna only used homeopathic treatments to care for them. At one point in time, she had 70 + feral cats that she cared for. Donna also ran a “cat board” with over 50,000 people,
