Donna Jean Floriana, age 85, of Jenison, MI, passed away peacefully Saturday, May 21, 2022 at University of Michigan Health West. She was born on July 25, 1936 to Paul and Bernice Puls. Donna married her soul mate, Ken, on May 18, 1958 in Toledo and together they celebrated 51 ½ years before his passing on November 23, 2010. Together they were both longtime members of Emmanuel Baptist Church where they were involved in the food pantry. They were also supporters at Emmanuel Christian School with the sports teams.

After Ken's passing Donna moved up to live in Michigan near her son and daughter-in-law where she became involved at Chapel Pointe Church and the over 70's Group.
