Donna Parker, 76, of Allegan, passed away Sunday, July 10, 2016, at Borgess Medical Center in Kalamazoo. Mrs. Parker was born on Nov. 1, 1939, in Angola, Ind., to the late Perry and Elizabeth (Calver) Warstler.
Donna was adopted by the late Hazel Warstler, who raised her as her own. She will be greatly missed. Donna has been a woman of faith, strength and grace.
