LaDonna was a veteran, having served in the Marine Corps as a combat correspondent during Operation Desert Shield. She held a passion for veteran affairs after service, becoming involved with various nonprofits and working for the American Legion in public relations. She was fascinated by the natural world, taking a special interest in rocks and minerals. Most of all she was a devoted mother, raising 5 children over 25 years.

We are raising money to pay for the funeral and memorial expenses, all funds raised beyond the goal will go to support the siblings in their many coming life changes.
