Donna was born May 13, 1929 in Honey Creek, Iowa, the daughter of Benjamin and Rose (Macintosh) Adams. She was a 1947 graduate of Elvira High School. Donna was united in marriage to Jack Woods on October 10, 1949 in DeWitt, Iowa - they would later divorce.
Donna worked as a Bank Manager at 1st Trust Bank and Savings in Davenport, Iowa for 23 years. She was a member of the Business of Professional Women's Association, the Chamber of Commerce and the United Way.
Donna loved floral design work, she made many wedding bouquets and would do the flowers for her grandchildren's weddings. She enjoyed making and selling pie crusts, babysitting the grandchildren, walking, ballroom music and was always there to help those in need. Her favorite quote was " they may have forgotten what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel". She will be sadly missed by her family and all those who knew her.
The family wishes to thank the entire staff at the Alverno, especially the nursing and support staff working at the Memory Lane floor - they were always very caring and loving to Donna.
