No matter what season it was Donna could be found in front of the TV if the Giants, Yankees or Lakers were playing. Interment of Donna’s ashes will be near her mother during a private family ceremony in the Oakwood Cemetery, Troy, NY. The Iler family would like to express our sincere appreciation to the entire staff of Craneville Place of Dalton for the excellent care Donna always received, and recently, for the compassion extended to each of us during our visits. Donna would often speak of how she enjoyed all her friends at Craneville and she was grateful for the special friendships she shared with Laura and Maria. We would also like to say thank you to Hospice of Berkshire County for the guidance and counseling we received over the past month. All of you are truly committed to your mission and knowing you were watching over our sister was more comforting than words can express. Arrangements are under the direction of Simple Choices, Inc.
