Donna also enjoyed driving around town, visiting Fred's Market, and "chumming it up" with her gal pals.

Donna is survived by her son, Curt Kitchen and his wife, Lisa; grandchildren, Coy Kitchen and his fiancée, Bayleigh, and Fallyn Kitchen and her boyfriend, Jake; and great-grandchildren, Mya and August Kitchen and sister-in-law, Betty Agosta.
