Some of her happiest moments were watching her grandsons, Charlie and Sam, play lacrosse and hockey. She loved movie nights with Max and treasured the special shopping trips she shared with Kathryn. She enjoyed spending time with friends and had a deep love for animals. Donita was known for her generous heart and was famous for always overtipping, even at drive-thrus, a small but meaningful reflection of her kindness and desire to brighten someone’s day.

She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Rudy Hebeeb; her parents, Glenadean and Howard Burke; and her brothers, Terry Burke and Gay Burke.

Known for her compassion, resilience, and graceful presence, Donita leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion. Her family will forever remember her warmth, her laughter, and the way she made every moment together meaningful. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
