Donna Jean Wagner

Donna was a woman whose life was centered around love, family, and simple joys. She loved camping, traveling, taking cruises and spending time surrounded by the people she cared about most. Her family meant everything to her, and she treasured every moment shared with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
