Donna K. Pratt went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, August 7, 2014. Donna was born in Gouverneur, N.Y. to parents Wilbur and Lucille Pritty.
Donna retired from the Jefferson County Office for the Aging. She enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, cooking for family and friends, reminiscing about the past, telling stories and shopping. She could never turn down a lively game of Sequence.
