Donna always had a passion for taking care of babies and her passion led her to her calling as a devoted and caring foster parent for over 30 years for Tulare county. During her time as a foster parent, she provided care for over 150 children for various lengths of time. In 2016 she was honored by the Tulare County Foster Parent Program as being the longest licensed foster parent in the county. Donna always found being a foster parent as one of the most rewarding things that she’d ever done. Donna was devout Christian wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend to all. She loved spending her free time going shopping, taking family vacations, and being with her grandkids and great grandkids. She had a heart of gold and was always willing to help out those in need.
