I was so sad to hear about Donna. She and I got along well as workmates and friends. She was on of my chief boosters that made me decide to go to nursing school. Our first grandsons were born just a week apart. It was so tough watching her go through the hard times of losing Jimmy and when Mark died.
The last time I saw her was in 2021 before I moved to Lincoln. She just kept marching on day by day.
Kelly, I´m so sorry. I´d love to talk to you, but I don´t know how to reach you. I´m on FB as Gail McCutcheon Barker. Take care hon.

Our sincere sympathy to you, Kelly, and all of your family on your loss. She was a great nurse and helped so many. When we move here over 20 yrs ago, your mom helped us get used to our new jobs at Southwest Memorial. She will be missed by many. (Nurses go straight to heaven, I've been told) Marcia and Bob Casey

Donna was a very dedicated RN, most of it spent in the ER at Southwest Memorial. Together we worked many hours and years working side by side performing emergency medicine. There will be dozens of coworkers who share the same feelings of good times and the positive outcomes in the patients we all treated. Donna told you straight from the heart how she felt and there was no sugar coating anything. There is a large group of us who will always hold the memory of Donna deep within our souls. She will be missed, but not forgotten. R.I.P Donna-Gary Woolsey
