Now former work colleagues of Donna from the Centra store in Moville have paid a moving tribute to the friend they said was the "heart and soul" of their work family.
Referring to her by her pet name 'Donzo', the tribute said that Donna would always be remembered as being full of fun and always there to help others.
The tribute includes a montage of pictures of Donna in happier times which were posted on social media.
It also includes a picture of Donna and her late father Brendan with whom she was so close.
The emotional tribute says "Where do we begin? For years you were the heart and soul of our Centra family. Front and centre with the craic and shenanigans on our nights out and in.
"First to lend a hand to whatever we were doing, from putting the fun into our fundraising, knowing who to call on if something needed fixing and you couldn’t do it!
"Dropping everything to help a friend, the biggest heart and that funny wee laugh, making the tough days easier, making the good times even better."
The tribute adds that Donna was one of a kind who will never be forgotten.
The tribute adds "You really were a force of nature, they say that stars that shine the brightest only burn for half as long.
"And you shone bright, Donzo. We will remember you with love in our hearts and smiles on our faces. You will not be forgotten."
Donna's mother, 70s, was driving the car at the time of the crash and was treated in hospital for non life-threatening injuries.
The 19-year-old driver of the other car in the collision was uninjured.
Gardai are still investigating the cause of the crash.
