Donna married the late David L. Lasher on April 4, 1953, in Youngstown, NY. They shared many wonderful years together until his passing in August 2000. Donna dedicated her career to serving as a Cafeteria Aide in the Lewiston Porter Central School District, where she brought warmth and a smile to the students she served. Her kindness and dedication left a lasting impression on all who knew her. May Donna's memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved her.
Donna enjoyed her family, faith, and many close friends. She loved gardening and had beautiful flower gardens, often spending time taking care of them. In the afternoons, she could often be seen sitting in a lawn chair, enjoying being outside. She lived a good life full of love. May Donna's memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved her.

Lasher, in 2000; her son-in-law, James Rowles; and her siblings, Margaret (late Richard) Tower, Audrey (late Junior) Zimmerman, Marion (late John) Rajec, Dennis Paul Truesdale, and Marvin (late Julie) Truesdale; and longtime companion of 19 years Malvern Luschen.
