Dona Larsen

Diane Jastremsky and her family send our love and sympathy to the wonderful family of Dona and Dorrell Larsen.

I never had her as a teacher, but it was always good to see her around at East Jr High School. It was interesting to have her as my "wife" during my 7th grade world history class Islam and having to say I divorce you three times, just to get it over with. It was always good to see her at her big house.

I can remember Dona and her family from when I was very small - my first memory is watching her walk home from church on Main Street --- Many memories growing up with her children , having her as a PE teacher, just part of my life. I do not have many memories of my youth without one of the Larsen's playing a part. I have very fond memories of playing games in the basement of her home. One of my favorite memories is of her washing the hair of her sons in the sink in the kitchen, while they...

I was a colleague of Dona's for many years at East. Fond memories of a special lady. Wishing the family God's peace.

Coach Larsen was the most inspiring coaches I have ever had. She was always lifting my spirits and encouraging me when I was down on myself.

My prayers are with the Larsen family. I have thought about Coach Larsen many times within the past 30 years or so since I have played on her 'City Champ' volleyball team. I did also have her for English.

Coach Larsen was the most inspiring coach I have ever had. She was really uplifting my spirits since I had a low self-esteem. She was always there for me, ready to encourage me when I was down on myself.

My prayers are with the Larsen family. I will be thinking of you for years to come. I have thought about Coach Larsen many times within the past 30 or so years since I was on her 'City Champs' volleyball team. Those were the days.

Dona was one of God's choicest spirits and one of our special friends and associates. Dona and Dorrell were legends in the east end. They were great people, treasured friends and great contributors to the city of Boise.

The Bastians are better people because of Dona and her family. She had a way of lifting, inspiring and caring. She was good at lots of things. She was a super mom, great educator, treasured coach, involved citizen and generous philanthropist.

So glad the city...

Hornet 78-80. Consistent, Uplifting, Nurturing. One of those people who could always make you feel that SHE was Your Fan! A special blessing for all her students, players and friends. Wishing her family comfort in this time of loss, and peace in the days to come remembering your special times together.

We were there from 1966 to 1987; six of our eight children attended East Jr. High; we went to church with Dona and all her family; we lived in the same east-end neighbornood; and we knew all ten of the Larsen siblings; so our memories of Dona and Dorrell are strong and bright and real; and we send our best wishes and condolences to the Larsen Family at this difficult time--not really the end of an era but surely a moment to reflect on years of boundless service to a really great...
