It is with heavy hearts that we share the devastating news of the sudden passing of our friend and board member Donna Smith and her husband, Don on July 16, 2026.
​
Donna was an absolute force of nature. For nearly twenty years, she gave her whole heart to serving on our board. She didn't just show up to do a job, she brought a massive passion for helping people, a sharp wit, and an incredible sense of humor. She was simply amazing, always finding a way to bring laughter into the room and make everyone around her smile.
Donna’s incredible dedication and the joy she shared so freely left a mark on everyone who knew her. She and Don are going to be missed more than words can say.
​
We're taught that when loved ones pass away to always save them a seat at the table. For us it's the board table, and Donna will always have a seat.
