Donna was born January 9, 1936 to Elwin and Anna (Tainter) Guiff in New Haven, IN. Her parents both passed away early in her life, so Donna was raised by her grandparents John and Hattie Guiff. On April 16, 1955 she married the love of her life, Robert “Bob” Brown in New Haven. Donna started her work career at IBM in Ft. Wayne before moving to Coldwater where she worked for 20 years at Climax Metals (now HC Starck) before retiring. Together they made many memories. They lived in Hot Springs Village in Arkansas for 25 years.
Donna was a woman of faith and a member of St. Charles Catholic Church. She enjoyed fishing, bowling, and playing cards with family & friends. Donna always put the needs of her family first in her life. Her true joy in life was spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.
