I was very sorry to hear about the death of Donna on July 8. I'm thinking of you and your family at this time. We enjoyed Donna in the Senior Life activities at the Jones Center in Springdale. She'll be dearly missed at our functions. God bless you all. ~Virginia Melton
She was a wonderful friend and have kept in touch for the past 57 years.
Dear Jackie,
Your Mother was always so wonderful to me when I was very young and living in Arkansas alone. In 1961, I brought my two children and we stayed with you for a few days. Kirk sat in your doll high chair. Ken knew your Mother from school in Ocheyedan. We always looked forward to her Christmas letters. She was really one of a kind and so great to everyone.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Jackie, my thoughts are with you in the loss of your mother. I remember so many times being at your house, and your folks always working in the garden or the yard. One time your mother invited me to go with you to the university to see some little plays put on through the education department. It was a wonderful experience that I'll never forget. I remember what a caring teacher she was to her many students who really needed her. She always encouraged our making of Barbie doll clothes and all that insect collecting we seemed to do. Your mom was a very good and kind person and teacher. I have many wonderful memories of her.
Jackie, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. She was a great lady and was always so nice to me whenever I was at you house. My thoughts are with you.

Donna was a very special friend that will be dearly missed by us. A unique lady that was a true one-of-a-kind. May her family rejoice in the fact that she went quietly and peacefully.
We will never forget you.
Donna was a very sweet lady. We will miss her at our meetings.
Donna was such a lovely lady - so dear and so much fun to talk with. She always had an interest in whatever was going on with Cate at school and always made us feel special when we came to visit. As I am writing, I am thinking of root beer, and graham crackers and milk, and sitting on the sunporch, of stories about long drives to family reunions and cruises, and beautiful quilts, and the most amazingly blue eyes.
With all our love,
Brenda and Mike, Cate and Josh Smart
Donna was a delight. She volunteered at Shiloh Museum for several years working at the front desk and she always brought the best cookies to the Christmas Open House. We are grateful for the time she shared with us.
I'm sorry for your loss.
