Terry and Donna were very ambitious and worked tirelessly side by side to build Advanced Litho Printing, a very successful family business. Donna was office manager and bookkeeper. She basically adopted her employees. Her generosity was endless. She’d show up for work with roaster ovens filled with delicious food. She loved to have fun; the more the merrier! Her enthusiasm was infectious. Donna will be missed by so many. So many things will never be the same without her.
