Donna Scheuerer Obituary
1938-2015
Donna Scheuerer passed away on August 30, 2015. Donna was born on March 30, 1938 in Hildreth, Nebraska to John and Hannah Schmidt. She was the last of eight children. As her mother was unable to finish school, it was very important to her that her children did. All of the children, including Donna, were able to graduate high school.
Having grown up during the end of the depression and the war years, the family learned to get by with little. This influenced Donna's love to go shopping in her later years, especially with her grandchildren.
When Donna left home, she settled in Omaha. At a dance in 1957, she met the love of her life, Fred Scheuerer. They were married in 1958. Donna and Fred kept dancing regularly until recently. From this union were born two sons, Richard and David. She was a loving mother and was always involved in our lives.
After her sons started school, she started to work at Initiative Learning Center. After a fire destroyed the school, she started to work for several attorneys in the valley. She then worked with bankruptcy trustees until she retired.
Donna was very involved with the Nampa Eagles Auxiliary, serving as president several times. Her proudest moment was when she was selected to be the Eagles Auxiliary State President.
Donna was predeceased by her parents and six of her siblings. Her husband, Fred, passed away this year on July 10th.
She is survived by her sons, Richard and his wife Glenna, and their children, Thomas, Rachel, and Luke; David and his wife Susan, and their children, Sheree, Kaylee, and Allison. Also, she had two great-grandchildren, Kenna Bodewig, and Joshua Piszcek.
A visitation will be held on Friday, September 4, 2015 from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm at Cloverdale Funeral Home in Boise. Funeral Services will be held at Cloverdale Funeral Home on Saturday, September 5, 2015 at 2:00 pm, followed immediately by a committal at Terrace Lawn Memorial Gardens. The family would like to invite everyone to join them for a reception immediately following the committal at the Eagles Lodge in Nampa, 118 11th Ave N., Nampa.

I worked with Donna for almost 20 years. She was always upbeat and easy be around. I can attest to her love of shopping. Once a month we would go to Costco for office supplies. Then we'd go to lunch, of course. Our boss, John, always knew not to expect us back any time soon! Pat and I will miss seeing Donna every couple of weeks for lunch. She was one of a kind and so young at heart!

I am so sorry to hear of Donna's passing. I had the privilage of getting to know her by being able to work with her. Even though I moved to the East Coast and haven't seen Donna for three years, I consider her a friend and will miss her. My deepest sympathy and condolances to her family!

I worked with Donna for 11 years. She was a hard worker, a wonderful friend, and someone you could count on. We still had lunches together even after we stopped working together. She was a friend that you pick right back up with. She will be greatly missed.

Donna was the kindest most caring person. I worked with her for several years and grew to love her. She will be missed. She always talked about her family and was so proud of them. I will never forget this great lady. Condolences to her family.
