Longtime resident of Chester County, Donna Kerwood, passed away peacefully on May 25th at Arbor Terrace Exton after a long illness at the age of 97.

Donna was born January 13, 1926 in Kentucky. After moving to West Virginia as a child she graduated from South Charleston High School. Following high school Donna worked at Kuhm Co. in Charleston, WV as an administrative assistant until her marriage to Ray in 1949.

From 1980-1988 Donna participated in the running of Alpine Petroleum Co. (Berwyn, PA) as the billing clerk for several years.

Dedicated wife, loving mother, homemaker and above all devoted Christian, Donna will be remembered by her sons as a kind, loving, and always supportive mother who was always there for them to help with school, sports, and church activities.
