In 2008, she moved to Traverse City to follow her career to The Lighthouse Rehab and to be with the man she would soon marry. She then married the love of her life, Ron, on October 23, 2010. They welcomed the birth of their two sons, Dylan and Easton, before moving to Fenton in 2012. Their family was completed in 2018 with the birth of their daughter, Grace. Amber continued to serve others as a Speech Language Pathologist with her special ability to connect with families and patients. Even after her diagnosis of Stage 4 breast cancer, Amber spent her days loving her children and husband well, sharing her faith and her testimony, and finding any possible way to serve others even during her suffering. She was a radiant light with a beautiful smile and her legacy will continue to touch the lives of so many for years to come.  Surviving are: husband, Ronald Donajkowski; three children, Dylan (10), Easton (8), and Grace (3); parents, Raymond "Nick" and Mary Yaklin; brother, Kyle (Kelly) Yaklin; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Gerald and Rita Donajkowski; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
