I am so glad I got to go to this lady’s service…..we were friends in high school and stayed connected over the years. It was an honor to know her and I will miss her.
Donna and I were friends and co-workers at Marietta Coal Company. She was a very nice and caring person but we lost touch when I moved to Florida although we did connect a few times over the years. Prayers for her family during this sad time.
I knew Donna when we worked together in the early 2000s. Though it’s been awhile, I remember how she was always smiling! Good natured and fun lady. God bless her and give her peace.
Rest in Heaven Aunt Donna. You kept the Ticarich family connected for all these years, always the strong one. Love you.
I met Donna thru bowling over thirty years ago. She was sweet and kind person and I enjoyed her friendship thru the years. She would come to my house for cookouts and I enjoyed talking with her about various topics. I will miss her but know she is in a better place and know longer in pain. May God comfort her family during their time of sorrow.
I knew Donna since high school. She was truly a kind and caring person. It was always fun to go out to lunch with her as well these past few years. It was a pleasure to know but it was even more precious to have her friendship. RIP Donna
