Donna was store manager at IGA in Surf City for about 10 years where she was known and loved by many locals. She loved to walk on the beach, collecting sea glass, shark’s teeth and seashells. Donna loved fishing in the surf, or on her favorite Surf City Ocean Fishing Pier where she and John held season passes for many years. Her love of fishing became obvious in her work with the Facebook group Fishin’ Topsail where she was an administrator.

She will always be remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend.
