attended kindergarten at
Garfi eld School in Cokev-
ille, Wyoming and fi nished
high school in Baker City
in 1969. She has lived in
Wyoming, Idaho, Washing-
ton, and Oregon.
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

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.
