She was trained through Bethany Hospital’s Cadet Nurses Corp program and graduated from Baker University with a Bachelor’s of Science Degree. Donna was a registered nurse for numerous hospitals including Bethany and Wadsworth. On July 9, 1948 she married her beloved Clarence J. Miller and together they raised two daughters.

Recently she obtained her dual membership at Church of the Four Corners where her grandson is the pastor. She enjoyed painting, cake decorating, doll making, vegetable gardening, and researching her family’s genealogy. Her family was always her first priority. They remember her as gracious, generous, and a devoted mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, and as someone who enjoyed a good conversation. Donna is loved and will be missed.
