Dear Colleagues,

We are sad to share that Donna Adam’s mother, Donna Hermann, passed away on October 26 at Memorial Hospital after a brief illness. Her obituary can be found here: https://brownfuneralhomeniles.com/tribute/details/2298/Donna-Herrmann/obituary.html#tribute-start

Donna was passionate about the University of Notre Dame, and had a special place in her heart for those in military services. The family has asked that donations in her memory be given to the University of Notre Dame by directing your gift to the Veterans Fund in memory of Donna Herrmann.

A memorial service will be held on November 17, 2018 at Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception Parish, 219 South State Street, Niles, MI 49120 beginning at 11:30 a.m. Following the service a visitation will be held at Buchanan American Legion, 403 East Front Street, Buchanan, MI 49107.

Please remember to keep Donna and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

In Notre Dame,

Carleen Quinlan
