Surviving are her husband, Tom; mother, Leona; sisters, Debra McMahon and Diane Bannan; sisters-in-law, Darlene Hoffman and Debra (Jim) Golden; son, Timothy Pierantoni; step-son, Tom (Holly)Chambers; step-daughter, Cynthia (Matt) Warner; nephew, Chris McMahon; niece, Ashley Bannan; grandchildren, Quenton Chambers and Margaret Warner; and her cats, Harry and Dallas.

Donna earned her Associates degree in Accounting while attending Mid-State College and working full-time at Caterpillar. Donna worked at Caterpillar Inc for over 25 years working in several accounting departments, last working in Cat Financial Services. She was a member of Washington Christian Church and a faithful believer in God. Donna loved to travel. She volunteered as a tour escort with Vagabond Tours with her husband. Together, they were fortunate to escort several bus trips around the country, as well as travel to other destinations, such as, Canada, Alaska and Hawaii on personal trips. Donna was a loving person, quiet and reserved. She enjoyed spending time with family, serving others and making new friends. Most of all, she loved being with her family. She worshipped her niece, Ashley and nephew Quenton. She followed Ashley's basketball team all over, even traveling to Indiana for a tournament. Donna loved sports. She also knew the rules and loved to play. She liked to watch college basketball the most, of which she watched almost daily each season, especially playoffs and final four games. Duke University was her favorite to watch. Her favorite baseball team was the Cincinnati Reds. She attended several of their games in Ohio, as well as, St. Louis when the Reds played the Cardinals. Her favorite football team was the Dallas Cowboys. She got to see the Cowboys play in Dallas stadium right after she retired. And she attended the Cardinals' game the next day when they played the Texas Ranges in the World Series and won the pennant in 2011. The family would like to thank the hospice nurses and especially all the staff at Reflections for caring for Donna during her brief stay at the facility. Their kind efforts and loving support for both Donna and her husband during this Donna's illness were very much appreciated.
