Donna Spate Palmer

Donna sat behind me in PVUMC Choir & always said she could win the Academy award for looking like she was actually hitting all the high A flat notes, when, in fact, she was only mouthing the words, when the music got that high. Even with her illnesses, she always had a smile and said she was fine. I'm glad to have know her. My condolences.

Donna always had a smile on her face. I had the priviledge to know her throught the Scottsdale YMCA. She took my water aerobics class, we will all miss her. I remember seeing her at JoAnns and talking about sewing..She loved to make things for her grandchildren. She also loved her church..It was an honor to have known such a kind, loving person and she will be greatly missed. My prayers go out to her family during this sad time.

We called Donna sweet and precious, which is exactly what she was.
She was one of the first women I met in water aerobics class, upon moving to Arizona. I feel so blessed to have had Donna as a friend. She was always so warm and caring, and I still can hear her laugh and see her beautiful smile, that was always a part of her. She will be so missed.

She loved her family, grandchildren, church and everyone she met, we have all been so fortunate to have shared in her life.

My mother, Jo Claybourn, remembers Donna well from their shared time in the choir and Gospel Ladies at PVUMC, and told me she was quite a lady. Our family's prayers are with Donna's family.
