Donna Carole Harris

With heavy hearts, we remember Donna C. Harris, who passed away peacefully on August 5, 2026. Born to the late Donald Hayden and Magdalene Knaier, Donna's life was a testament to love, family, and joy.

A devoted wife to Donald Harris for 58 wonderful years, she built a legacy of kindness and warmth. Donna was a beloved mother to Dawn (Randy) Perkins, Donald (Candice) Harris, Danielle (Neil Campbell) Harris, and Deborah (Donald) Jarosz. Her nurturing spirit extended to her cherished grandchildren: Breanna, Nathan, Trevor, Taylor, Amber, Katie, Madison, and Sean, who brought her immense pride and happiness.

Donna cherished simple joys—she had a passion for puzzles, gardening, and feeding the squirrels, activities that reflected her gentle nature and love for life's little wonders. Above all, she adored spending time with her grandchildren, creating memories that will forever be treasured.

She is survived by her brothers Dennis Hayden, Ricky and Brian Knaier, and preceded in death by her brother Wayne Hayden. Her legacy lives on through her many nieces and nephews.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate her life at a Memorial Service on Saturday, August 15th at 2:00 PM at Buffalo Suburban Seventh-day Adventist Church in Lancaster, NY. Condolences are welcomed as we honor the memory of a remarkable woman who touched so many lives.
