The family held a wonderful service today in remembrance of Donna. Thank you.
I have only known Donna for the last 10 years when I joined the Torrance Camp of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers. She was a dedicated member of the society for nearly 29 years! Donna always attentively listened to the DUP lessons, often taking the lesson booklet home to read more on the topic. She equally enjoyed hearing about each of our members' pioneers; and we enjoyed stories she shared about her own pioneers.
She will be greatly missed!!
