Donna was a graduate of Brewer High School. She was married to Dean Herweg and they resided in the home they built in Brewer all of their lives. In early years she was a waitress at the White Elephant restaurant before starting and running several businesses over her working lifetime.

Donna was also an active member of Zonta International and is credited for creating the fundraiser, The Zonta Holiday Marketplace, held in Brewer for some thirty years now. She also served for many years on Brewer’s Board of Appeals. In addition, Donna was an avid reader and longtime member and supporter of the Brewer Public Library. After her retirement Donna was half of the movie review team on 92.9 WEZQ ‘Mom and A Movie’ with her daughter, Dorian.
