Jeanenne Donaldson Obituary
December 14, 1939 - July 22, 2022
Emmett, Idaho - Jeanenne LaRae Donaldson passed away July 22, 2022. She was born on December 14, 1939 to Clifford Nicholas Durfee and Bernice Katherine Charlton in Hailey, Idaho. Jeanenne had a golden heart. She was the kindest woman anyone could meet. She had a smile that would warm up a room, even on the coldest day. As a teenager, she was a cheerleader and she continued with those cheering skills throughout her life. She married her high school sweetheart, Ralph Donaldson in 1959. Jeanenne made a career being a bookkeeper for Boise Cascade/BMC West. She also ensured that her three boys stayed out of trouble, for the most part. Later on, she made time to care for sick grandchildren and travel with her spouse. Jeanenne enjoyed spending time with her family â€" supporting, encouraging, and loving her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren up until the day she passed. She will be greatly missed by many. There will be a private service. In grandma's words - "See ya 'til you're better paid."

I was friends and classmates with Chris & Pat for many years including college and hunting escapades. Always in and out of the Donaldson household and was treated as if I was one of their own. My heart goes out to Chris, Pat, Tracy and all of the family members. You have a tremendous amount of wonderful memories to get all of you through this difficult time. Many blessings!

Jeanenne would unselfishly drive us to Vallivue almost every day of the summer during one year of an all-star baseball season, Nick Muffley, (son)Tracy Donaldson, and me. She was always so patient and kind.
I was blessed to know Jeanenne.
