Meet Donna Thode

This devoted volunteer began her work in the Douglas County Museum in 1994. Although she assists with photocopying, mass mailings, janitorial work, special events, answering the telephone and more, Donna's main area of expertise in the museum is in the library/archives. Donna assists visiting genealogists with their document research, and prepares and files hundreds of obituaries, marriage and birth announcements for storage and easy retrieval in the museum's extensive "Vertical File."

A graduate of Broadlands high school in 1949, Donna stayed on her parents' farm, caring for them until their death. She moved to Tuscola in 1968 and began work in the dietary department of Jarman Memorial Hospital. She worked at the Douglas Nightingale Nursing Home until 1993, when she retired.

She likes to sew, embroidery and collect souvenir spoons, and she also keeps a scrapbook.
