Donna lived most of her life in Maryland. Her passion for making a difference for others led her to pursue a Masters Degree in Special Education. Over the span of more than three decades, Donna dedicated herself to the field of education, imparting knowledge and compassion to countless students in Baltimore County Beyond her professional pursuits, Donna's legacy will forever be intertwined with her unwavering love for God and her commitment to walking in His footsteps. Her days were a testament to selfless service and tireless dedication to improving the lives of others. Donna's spiritual journey found expression through her active involvement in numerous outreach programs at Church of the Ascension in Westminster. She particularly enjoyed singing and playing in the bell choir as well as participating in the many children's programs. Her benevolent spirit extended to the compassionate realm of hospice care, where she volunteered at Dove House, providing solace to those in their final moments. Donna's commitment to faith manifested in her role as a Bible study teacher in Community Bible Study, leaving an enduring influence on the hearts of those she guided. She is survived by her sons, Dennis Parker (Suzanne) and Ryan Parker (Kimberly), brother, Kenny Cardinale (Nancy) and two grandsons, George and Kevin. She was welcomed to heaven by her parents and daughter, Hannah. A Celebration of Life will be held at 11 am on February 24 at Church of the Ascension, 23 North Court Street, Westminster, MD 21157. All are welcome to join the family for a luncheon at the Fellowship Hall following services. Memorial donations may be made to Church of the Ascension.

Donna was a marvelous volunteer at Church of the Ascension. Her hand was up first to support her church and fellow parishioners. Donna ran out Angel Room at The Mistletoe Mart. Her broad, beautiful smile brought you into her orbit of kindness. Well done Donna, sharing your talents and gifts your church, students and community. Rest with ease because we will remember you.
