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.

Wayne before moving to Coldwater where she worked for 20 years at Climax Metals (now HC Stark) 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.
Donna is survived by her husband of almost 67 years, Robert Brown of Coldwater; her children Linda (Stan) Robinett of Coldwater, Victoria Goebel of San Antonio, TX, Mark (Teresa) Brown of San Antonio, TX, Patricia (Denny) Iott of Boston, MA; and Sandra (Scott) Watson of Oak Grove, MO; her grandchildren Cory (Melinda) Robinett, Dana (Jim) Hess, Erin (Derrick) Veysey, Sarah (Sean) Umstead, Kristen Brown, Devan (Juan) Oviedo, Chelsea (Michael) Tindall, Eric Iott, Rochele Watson, Sarah Goebel-Cunnis, and Jeffory Goebel; 22 great grandchildren and her close cousin John (Janet) Reid.
