She was a 50-year member of the Rebecca’s and Eastern Stars of Clarion. Donna was a bookkeeper for Heeter Lumber Co. of Sligo for 28 years. She was an avid reader, and she enjoyed putting together puzzles and having teasing discussions with her grandchildren about “Dr. Phil” episodes.

Ritenour and husband, Daniel, of Renfrew and her daughter, Katherine Fulmer of Tyrone. Donna is survived by her bonus sons, Jonathan Ritenour of Sarver and Travis Ritenour of Butler; and her brother, Richard McKinney (Patricia) of Tuscon, Ariz.

Steiner, whom she married on Sept. 22, 1956, and who passed away on Oct. 12, 2012; her brothers, Eugene McKinney and Tom McKinney; her twin brother, David McKinney; a sister, Sarah “Sal” Summerville; and two infant sisters, Barbara Ann McKinney and Ruth Doris McKinney.
