Benny and family, my heart breaks for you all. I enjoyed working with Donna at University Physicians. She was a dear friend. She always had a smile and was so kind. After separation from work we enjoyed many lunch´s together, laughs and catch up on our family. Friends like Donna are very special and hard to find.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I went to school with Donna since we were kids. We graduated together, then worked together at United Telephone Company along with Barbara Hale. Donna was always smiling and had the best sense of humor. I´m so sorry to hear of her passing. I wish we could have stayed in touch more of the years. Prayers for all the family members and friends. Go rest high on that mountain.

My deepest condolences to the family and close friends of Donna. We worked together at ETSU peds for 11 years. She and her sister Kim. Donna was an excellent educator and the people she trained became major talent in her workplace. She was kind, patient, and totally dedicated to whatever she had her hands on. At one time we had 3 Donna´s and a LaDonnia in our office, so I will close with..´I am gonna miss ya Donna Donna Lonnia Donna"...Thank you Lord for a person like Donna Hale...I think You broke the mold after her....
