I worked with Donna for several years when she was part of the FOSPA program..the first preschool program in the area. She was a valued member of that team and a friend. I was sorry to hear of her passing.
Missed the notice of Donna’s passing. I also worked with her at Seton Hall in the early 80s. She had “spunk” which I so admired. Thinking of her with fondness.
I have such wonderful childhood memories with the Winskowski family. Donna was so much fun to be around and we had a lot of laughs. My favorite friend was her daughter Jean. May God bless you all and give you comfort and peace at this difficult time. Love you all!!
