Her family wrote, "Our beloved wife, mother and sister went to Heaven this last Saturday. Donna Jeanne Pederson had a warm glow that surrounded her heart. She reached out to all of us with her zest for life and that beautiful smile that touched our hearts.
Donna loved her sons with all her heart. Dakota, Dustyn, Devin and Joseph are the shining successes in her life. She will always be there for you.
Our daughter Paris and her family loved her, especially our granddaughter "Mimi" Naomi. They were inseparable.
Donna and her sister, Lisa, have a lifetime of great moments to remember. Greg can tell you about the laughter and happy times with our adventures.
Donna loved all her brothers, Will, Ray, Chris and Danny. She will be there for you when you say a prayer.
David Woodard, known as "Wooley," was another loved family member.
Sister-in-law, Roberta and her family, Paul and Sandy, Jerry and Shauna, Bill and Rose, Paul and Cris, and Mr. H, all keep Donna in their hearts.
Donna would also say to Art to keep on hanging on in life. She wants you to settle down.
There are so friends like Heather, Coco and countless others she cherished with all of her heart. She has crossed paths with quite a few people, and they all fell in love with her.
Donna took care of all of us. She truly has a great extended family. We love you and miss you. Jesus has you in his care. We'll meet up again. Love you Donna Jeanne."
