Born on September 20, 1941 in Harrisburg, PA, to the late Lois and Emmert Dickson.
She is survived by her loving husband John Russell; children, Christine Russell and John Russell; and grandchild Colton Lehmer.
Donna was the book keeper for her husband’s business and watched children for over 30 years in her home. She cared for them like they were her own and they loved coming to see her. She was the backbone of the family; always there when you needed to talk or share what was going on. She enjoyed gardening, traveling to Florida, knitting, eating out and spending time with her family. She loved taking care of children and took pride in her home and her garden. Donna was the best wife, mother and grandmother and will be missed.
A private service will be held at the convenience of her family.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or the Alzheimer’s Association.
