Donna McIntosh lost a four year battle with cancer. As with everything Donna did, she worked hard on surviving in order to take care of her family.
Donna graduated in 1983 from College Park High School in Pleasant Hill and graduated in from UCSC with a degree in biochemistry and molecular biology 1987.
Donna married Del Foster in 1989 and settled on a career raising her family. Donna worked hard on being the perfect partner, cheerleader and counselor. As with everything she did, her hard work paid off in the success of her four wonderful children: Kiley, Moira, Kaden and Molly.
For Donna, her family came first and she applied her skills and education to taking care of her family in numerous ways such as baking wonderful bread, raising chickens and gardening. Donna was an enthusiastic hiker and athlete who loved the outdoors.
She is also survived by her parents, David and Nancy McIntosh, and her brother John and sister Valerie, her grandmother Kathryn McIntosh, as well as numerous in-laws, aunts, uncles, nephews and nieces.
