Donna Schotter Obituary
July 21, 1953 – December 6, 2016
After years of illness and pain our beautiful Donna was lifted to a better place. She passed on at home with her loving husband of 31 years, Mike, at her side as was her wish.
Donna was born in Ft. Dix, New Jersey to Royce Allen and Genie Navage. As an army brat she lived in Germany and West Point.
Donna's love of people drove her to become a CNA at a young age working in the nursing field for many years. She was an accomplished artist, winning awards and selling many of her creations.
Camping and fishing were among her favorite memories, but her love for her family and friends surpassed all else.
Donna is survived by her husband, Mike; son, Alex Wilson; three beautiful grandchildren, Alexis Wilson, Rick Wilson and Jason Wilson and a precious great granddaughter Jane Wilson, all of Alamogordo.
Donna's family extends their heartfelt thank you to all the friends who have come forward in the last few months.
God bless you all.
Memorial Services will be at the VFW Hall at 700 Hwy 70 West on December 23rd at 6 p.m.

I was so sorry to hear the sad news of Donna's passing. She visited our family home with Granny Anne, to visit my mother Maura and our family, in Dublin in 1990. We really liked her and we were delighted to meet our American cousin and Granny Anne.
I would like to offer my sympathies and condolences to Mike and family. Look after yourselves. With big HUGS from your relatives in Dublin, best regards, Cathy (O'Boyle) Hogan and family. x
