Donna Wilson left her earthly home on Saturday, February 4, 2012 and went to rest in the arms of her Heavenly Father at the age of 60 following a long battle with breast cancer. She was born on June 4, 1951 in Cohoes, N. Y. and the daughter of the late Edward and Irene Snay of Waterford, N. Y.

Donna is survived by her husband, Jim, son, Michael (Jamye) Molloy of Benton Harbor, and daughter, Karen Molloy of Bridgman. Three step-children, Chris Wilson of Buchanan, Monica (James) Jackson of Nashville, TN, Melanie Wilson of Eugene, OR. Grandson, Jacob Hardy, and 5 step-grandchildren, A. J. and Branden Bodfish, Hayden, Abby and Tyler Jackson. Brother, Gary Snay of Mechanicville, N. Y. Donna is also survived by her former husband and father of her 2 children, Keith Molloy of New Mexico.

Donna loved her friends and family. She enjoyed reading, crocheting, listening to music, movies, plays and walks on the beach. She has lived in several states during her life and held many different positions from real estate agent to administrative support. Donna enjoyed helping people and especially enjoyed the positions at Hospice at Home working in the office. She often spoke to her friends of how she felt God led her to Hospice at Home following her first round of chemo and radiation back in 2000. The nurses, doctors, and other staff members became her second family.
