Donna Brigham Obituary



December 4, 1932 - November 24, 2013 The morning following her milestone 55th wedding anniversary, Donna passed away peacefully on her own terms surrounded by her beloved family. Donna was born in Joplin, MO and lived the majority of her life in Springfield, MO. She graduated from the University of Oklahoma where she met her husband, Storrs Talcott Brigham II, who in his earlier years was a resident of both Hartford and Granby, CT. A 50+ year resident of Granada Hills, CA she and her husband lovingly raised two grateful children, Robin (Jeff) Schwimmer and Bruff Brigham. She was an amazing Nani to her three beautiful granddaughters. Donna was an avid animal lover, silly songwriter, and dear friend to all who knew her. A celebration of her life was held on December 4, 2013. Her twinkly eyes and beautiful smile will live forever in our hearts.

Donna was a neighbor of mine when we were growning up for several years. We played paper dolls a lot. I loved her dearly. Sorry I never got to see her again when she visited. I talked to her one time.

Losing a loved one is never easy. The Bible tells of a time when we will be free from a morbid fear of death (Heb 2:15). Hope you find comfort in God's words
