Donna Plucker, 77,, has passed away, leaving behind a family and community who loved her dearly.
The chapters of her life were many; these are some of them.
Donna's story began in 1945, and unfolded across the years that followed.
Donna spent her working life as ['bank teller and as a floral designer'] — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew her best.
Some legacies are not written; they walk the earth, named after those who came before.
