Donna was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  She has also served as the Secretary of the Board of County Commissioners, Latah County, ID and was a long-standing Newspaper Columnist where, owing to her insightful wit, she was sometimes known as the “Erma Bombeck of Idaho.”  She had a flare for connecting with youth, as she was often volunteered to serve them, recently as a Seminary and Sunday school teacher; and in supporting the Tipp City High School Marching Band.  She was quietly compassionate, which led to countless hours of service to the less fortunate and ministry to the disenfranchised.

As a devoted Army Wife, she endured her husband’s deployments to Viet Nam along with multiple relocations all while raising her family to understand it was a privilege to serve; never complaining.  To the contrary, she relished the adventure.  Throughout her life, she approached all hardships with remarkable style, grace and humor.  She accomplished this by enjoying the simple things. Donna was a very proud “chocoholic” who loved to travel light; recalling recently that one of her happiest days was spent horseback riding on a Caribbean beach with her husband.

An expert in Genealogy, Donna had a strong connection to her ancestors.  She loved history and was an avid reader of historical fiction.   Her love of Scotland and her heritage became a unifying force for the entire family.  

Donna taught others how to identify and experience beauty; and how to allow it to touch your soul.  She taught that true beauty is timeless; and that the Spirit of God can speak to us through good music and humor. She especially appreciated ballet and musical theater   Music became the framework of her life and she believed each of our lives had beautiful sound-tracks if only we would listen.  Her uncompromising views of beauty and timeless truths combined with her willingness to laugh made her a powerful yet gentle influence for good upon everyone she encountered.
