Donna worked in a fi sh packing plant as well as apple orchards in Wash- ington. Donna considered Durkee and Baker City to be her home. Donna also loved the Oregon Coast. She enjoyed country mu- sic, dogs, horses, bike rid- ing, cigarettes and drinking coffee. At one time she had a horse named Misti and two dogs: Lady and Smokey. Donna had four sons: Steven, William, Randy, and Mike. They were all adopted by other fami- lies. For many years she dreamed of reuniting with all four of her children at the same time. This dream came true in the Summer of 2012. Her favorite season was summer. Donna was al- ways thankful for the little things in life. She didn’t even complain through the injury and illness that she endured for over fi ve years. Her favorite color was blue; like her eyes. Her favorite fl ower was the daisy.
