Donna worked for several years as an LPN and viewed the profession of nursing as a calling that allowed her to have a lasting impact on the patients she served. She was also an avid animal lover and scrapbooker.

She leaves behind eight grandchildren: Desi, Ella, Emma, Carter, Bailey, Austin, Max and Nora; a sister, Lisa (David) Mansell; two nieces: Hannah (Trent) Hoerner and Alyssa Mansell; and two great-nieces: Maggie and Ellie. Donna also leaves behind a host of extended family and friends who will forever cherish the memories they shared. She was preceded in death by her father and mother, Ray and Lilly Irene Hillman. A celebration of Donna's life will be held on Sunday, July 28th, 2024 at Schaffer Funeral Home, 529 Jefferson Avenue in Defiance. Visitation will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. followed by a funeral service at 1 p.m. with Celebrant Deb Miller officiating.
