Donna Bower Obituary
September 24, 1957 – March 8, 2026
Donna was born in Portland, Oregon on September 24, 1957 and passed away after an extended illness on March 8, 2026. She lived her life as one of Jehovah's witnesses. Her family will miss her caring and loving demeanor that allowed her to take care of others so well. Donna was an artist and enjoyed drawing in her younger years; more recently she liked to crochet and spend time studying her bible. Donna also enjoyed cooking and eating healthy foods. She lived her life with a humble heart; she was very intelligent and enjoyed laughter with friends and family members. Even strangers could find comfort in Donna's caring words and approach to life's circumstances; especially her great sense of humor.
She leaves behind her children Erica Reis, Laura Bower and Sara Bower; daughter in law Jamie Bower; parents Carolyn (Bob) Wild; siblings Barbara (John) Gilbert and Bobby (Judy) Vidal; grandchildren Michael Bower, Noah Bower, Sofia Bower and Giana Bower; nieces and nephews Andy Vidal, Steven Gilbert, Jaque Vidal, Benny Vidal and Jacob Vidal. Donna was preceded in death by her son Danny Bower.
