My memories of Donna started in the 5th grade at Lincoln School. Happy memories of good times together. Plus being "couple" friends when we were newly married. Marshall and I dissecting the fetal pig in his garage. Lots of laughing together over home cooked meals.
Jerald and I send our deepest condolences to Marshall and the family. We are saddened by her passing, but we will always remember her.

I have many happy memories of working with Donna at WSU starting when we both were new to CHP - we endured many trials but enjoyed fun times, too. Donna was an intelligent and accomplished person, yet very down to earth, and she was a good friend. I'm sorry she's left us so soon. My love and sympathy to Marshall and all the family.
