This past weekend Donna McKearn would have celebrated her 88^th birthday. Donna, a longtime resident of Beloit, spent her life nurturing and caring for children. Therefore, her own children thought it was fitting to celebrate her legacy in our community with the Donna McKearn Memorial Endowed Scholarship at Blackhawk Technical College. According to her son, Tim McKearn of Beloit, "My mom loved children and spent many years working with infants, young children, and their families. We wanted to provide support to individuals wishing to pursue careers in childcare or early childhood work."
