At Simply Unique, we believe that our work environment is as special as the people who create it. Among those who stand out, one individual shines with a rare warmth and genuine care for others—Donna. To know her is to understand what it means to embody kindness, creativity, and compassion in every part of life. From the moment she joined the team, Donna has been a steady source of encouragement and joy. She is always eager to help, willing to share her ideas, and never hesitates to go the extra mile. Her creativity shines through in everything she does, but it’s her heart for people that makes the greatest impact. Donna has a way of making others feel seen and valued. She’s easy to talk to, quick to listen, and always ready with thoughtful advice that comes from both wisdom and experience.
Beyond her professional role, Donna carries many gifts and responsibilities. She is a talented singer and musician, using her God-given abilities to inspire and uplift. As a pastor’s wife, she models grace and strength, serving her congregation and community with humility. As a Licensed Practical Nurse, she has trained hands for healing, but even more importantly, a compassionate heart that extends far beyond the workplace. Dependable, Godly, and full of joy, Donna enriches Simply Unique every single day. We are truly blessed to work beside her, knowing that her presence not only makes the job lighter but also makes life brighter. In a world that sometimes feels hurried and disconnected, Donna reminds us of the beauty of kindness, the power of creativity, and the comfort of a compassionate friend. She is not only a valued teammate but also a remarkable example of living a life of purpose and care.
Simply put, Donna is more than part of the team—she is part of the heart of Simply Unique. We love you Donna.

Smart. Kind. Loving. Talented. Friendly. Innocent. Honest. Faithful and Godly. All words to describe my friend, Donna. When I think on the times that I spent around her in our school years from 1st through 12th , and outside of school, I think on one of the prettiest souls that I have ever encountered. She always wore a smile even in times of difficulty. She always encompassed a spirit that was one of the must precious and angelic spirits I had ever encountered. She was a spiritual leader in our class and in our school more times than she will ever realize. I remember a time in school, we must have been around the 6th grade and I vented a need, or a youngster issue and my friend boldly said, “I will pray for you.” Wow. A conversation between two young kids in the hallway and one was bold enough and sincere enough and wise enough to say, “I will
pray for you.” That changed our relationship. I looked up to her and I continue to admire her walk and her love of God.
She is definitely a beautiful, soulful, compassionate woman of God and she deserves to be “highlighted” in every way. I appreciate who she is here, but most of all who she is for the Kingdom of God.
Nora Erwin:
This is to thank Mrs. Donna for the wonderful experience at Simply Unique. The visit started on a chaotic note; after a hectic morning, there was a struggle to pick out a birthday bouquet for a coworker. The confusion was likely visible. However, Mrs. Donna's kindness and serene presence immediately reassured. When the purple flowers were suggested, the judgment was trusted completely. Later, I happened to look up the meaning of purple flowers and discovered that it symbolizes peace and tranquility. This was the very feeling gifted that day. Her humility and gentle guidance turned a stressful errand into a moment of calm, and for that, there is gratitude. Thank you for the empathy and for leaving such a positive impression.
