She was very involved volunteering at Gaines Church, where she attended for 70 years. At their roadside farm market where she sold maple syrup and peaches she loved to talk to her customers and talk about Jesus.

She is also survived by her brothers, Gary and Jane Crosby, Jim Crosby; her brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Merle Maier, David and Marlene Maier, Doris Magle; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

My aunt Dona was Beautiful in EVERY WAY. Dona was Such a kind and gracious lady that never talked ill of anyone.
I remember when Sim brought her to meet the family and my sister Lois and I were in awe with her kindness, and her beauty.
Dona worked very hard all of her life, and she certainly took pride in the quality of syrup and all the goodies she made and marketed.
She will be greatly missed and ALWAYS REMEMBERED as WONDERFUL !
