Donna Was Born 03/20/1965 to Maggie Franze and Douglas
Maudal, in Sleepy Eye, MN. The Area was hit by a snow storm on
the day of Donna’s birth. Her parents and siblings lived thirteen

married and loving parents while having unforgettable memories,

peaceful love for being by water and hitting the open road for a
road trip. Most of those road trips traveling to see her kids,
grandkids, and more family and friends. She lived wild, free, and
for family till the day she died.
