Donna was a remarkable woman whose life was an embodiment of love and dedication. Her family and friends were the center of her world, and she cherished every moment spent with them. As a devoted spouse to her husband, David Chofey, Donna shared a bond of partnership and love that was an inspiration to all who knew them. She was a nurturing and supportive mother to Krista Marsland, Corey Marsland and wife Stephanie, Kyle Marsland and companion Alyssa, and Kayla Chofey and companion Mason. Her children were her pride and joy, and she instilled in them the values of kindness, resilience, and compassion. As a grandmother, Donna found immense joy and fulfillment in her four grandchildren, who brought light and laughter into her life. Donna's was a beloved sister to Debbie Smith and her twin brother Donnie Lovenduski and wife Renee, and a cherished aunt to numerous nephews, nieces, and cousins. Her kindness and generosity were felt by all who knew her, and her home was always a welcoming haven filled with warmth and laughter. She leaves behind a legacy of love, cherished memories, and family traditions that will be carried on by future generations. In addition to her family, Donna built a community of friends who became like family, and she remained a steadfast friend through life's many seasons. Her compassionate nature and unwavering support touched the lives of all she encountered. Her spirit will continue to guide and inspire those she leaves behind.

Donna was an excellent woman and I am so glad to have known her throughout my life, through my friendship with her sons Corey and Kyle. I know she must have been proud of the amazing men they have become, and how great her three eldest are at being caring and loving parents. Something that surely speaks volumes to how she raised them. I’ll certainly miss her wit and great sense of humor, she was always the life of the party and I know her spirit and memories will carry on. May her family and fiends find peace in her memory and her love of you all. May she find peace and eternal life with Christ.
With love
Greg and Katie Williams

So sorry for your loss. So young. We met Donna and Dave at Jilly’s years ago. Very friendly couple. Would always have a nice conversation whenever we ran into them. Then found out she was Corey’s mom! Small world. Stay strong, 🙏❤️
