I met Donna in 1995 through my employer. She became a very special person in my life. It wasn't just business when we spoke, but she also cared about me personally. She was the first person to jump on the band wagon and donate money for me to have surgery that was covered at less than 50%. This gesture was so touching as I am not a relative, the donation was not tax deductible, etc. I respect(ed) this pioneer, hard worker, giving woman and truly appreciate the example that she set for...

Donna was a dear friend and supporter of Northwest Christian University. She was on the search committee for two of our university presidents including our current President Joseph Womack. She loved the fact that we own the former Sigma Nu fraternity house where her son lived, while attending the University of Oregon. Thank you Donna for your service to our community. -- Greg Strausbaugh, VP for Advancement, Northwest Christian University

I was on the World Forestry Center's board for many years with Donna. I will miss her. The world is a sorry place without her. They don't make people like that too often. Her grace and charm were infectious and at the boardroom table, her comments were always appropriate, concise and relevant. Good-bye dear friend.

I had the privilege and pleasure of representing Donna professionally, both personally and with her various business enterprises during the 1980s and early 1990s. Donna personified the liberated woman who, by her personal example, advanced the increasingly accepted conventional wisdom that woman can be as creative, productive and contributive as men. As a strong supporter of civil liberties and civil rights, I admired Donna as a person who walked the walk and talked the talk, all with...

Donna was one of Oregon's greatest treasures and a friend beyond compare. I had the privilege to work and travel with her as a Director at the World Forestry Center. Her accomplishments and unfaltering values are legendary, yet, I will remember most the twinkle in her eye and her ready appetite for fun and friendship. Oregon is a better place because of Donna. I will miss her dearly.
