Her kindness extended beyond her family to her College Park neighborhood, where she was part of a community that she loved dearly

Donna found happiness in the people and moments that made life meaningful. She cherished time with her family and friends, loved her cat Sandy, and appreciated the simple things in life, even something as ordinary as a trip to Walmart with her mom, Mary. Or walking around Universal Studios with her son, Chance She understood that some of life's most meaningful memories are made in the everyday moments we share with the people we love.

Donna leaves behind her beloved son, Chance VanDyke; her father, Don Chance; her mother, Mary Ballard; and her cherished family and friends back in Kentucky and her College Park neighborhood community.
