DonaVe J. Conville

1929 - 2022

Our mother, DonaVe Conville, was one of the strongest women to ever walk this earth and our family was blessed to have her. She was born on August 26, 1929 in Winner, South Dakota and stepped into the presence of the Lord on December 27, 2022 (93 years old), peacefully and surrounded by loved ones. DonaVe graduated from Manuel High School in 1947. She went on to pursue a career as a secretary. She retired from the Wheat Ridge Regional Center – Ridge Home in 1989 after 24 years of service. Her passion was world travel.

In 1948, she married Harold Harvey. They went on to have 3 children – David Avis, Becky Anglemyer (Les Cline) and Dona (Diane) Trujillo (Lonnie Trujillo). In 1959, she married Wayne Avis. They went on to have 1 child – Lisa Modglin (Mark Modglin, III).
