Donald Combs Obituary

April 15, 1935 - Nov. 15, 2017 Woodland Donald Combs was born on April 15, 1935 in Springfield, MO to Norman and Dorothy Combs. He passed away Nov. 15, after his struggle with cancer. He is survived by his wife, Donella; brother, Paul and sister, Helen; son, David; two daughters, Lori and Kellie; two stepchildren, Randy and Rajeana; and five grandchildren, Keaton, Nathan, Patrick, Devon, Callie; along with many other relatives and close friends. Don was a retired brick mason, a long-time member of Alcoholics Anonymous, a 32nd degree Mason, and a huge dog lover, especially his beloved Maggie May. He and Donella loved to spend time in Sutherlin, OR and Eagle Lake whenever possible. He was given a second chance on life, and he took advantage of it. He was a lucky man. One day at a time dad. You will be greatly missed. Save me a seat.
