Donna Huber Obituary
May 12, 1949 – April 5, 2023
Donna Marie Huber entered peacefully into the warm embrace of her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, April 5, 2023. Donna was born May 12, 1949, to Lloyd & Darlene May in McMinnville, OR.
Donna grew up in Amity, Oregon and graduated from Amity High School in 1967. She began her college education at Southern Oregon College where she met her future husband, Ron, and got married at St. John Lutheran Church in McMinnville, OR, in 1969. She continued pursuing her teaching degree at Oregon College of Education in Monmouth, earning her BS in Education in 1972. For the next 10 years she taught kindergarten and first grade in Parkdale, Mosier and The Dalles. Ron and Donna started growing their family in 1978 based on their strong belief that God desired that every child should have a loving, forever family. As their family grew, their need for a larger home, combined with the desire to be closer to her family, led to moving to Amity in 1987.
She had a lifelong faith in Jesus Christ and desired to serve Him as a faithful servant for all her life. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, teacher, and friend. She never failed to share her love with others. In addition to her passion for gardening, Donna also led many Bible study groups and children's ministries at Amity Christian Church. She once wrote a Bible study entitled POW which stood for Pretty Organized Woman for Jesus. Donna lived a life of selfless service to others, committed to sharing the love of her Savior in all her relationships. The impact of her service to the Lord will only be measured in eternity.
Donna is survived by her husband, Ron, of 53 years; her siblings Darrell (Connie), Dan, Steve, and Linda; children: Martin, Sebastian, Ernie, Bryan, Tim, Bobby, Lea, Rolando, Rosa, Ebony, Mary Ann, Diego, Mari, Jarod, Josh, Luis, Carlos, Sucelly, Daniel, Andres, Peter, Wilson, Emma and Aminata; 34 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents and her sons Mel, Jamie, Jon and Joe.
Celebration of Life will be held at the Amity Christian Church on Saturday, April 15, 2023, at 2:00PM (1305 Goucher St, Amity, Oregon.)

Donna was an amazing woman who helped me a lot when I moved to a new state as an exchange student. She loved gardening and taught me a lot about plants, and even inspired me to start planting in my own garden when I returned home. I admired her kindness and how she dedicated her life to helping others.
She was always there to lend a listening ear, offer advice, or just share a laugh.
Her passing is very heartbreaking to me, but I will always reflect on and appreciate the good times we had together. She was a great person who made a big impact on my life and the best host-mom I could ever ask for.
I love you Mom.
And to Ron, her loving husband, and to their children and grandchildren, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I hope you find comfort and peace in the memories of her life and the love that she shared with all of you.

Donna was the epitome of a Godly woman displaying His traits inside and out! She was always the first to greet someone with a smile, a personal note, and many times a hug. She was truly beautiful, kind, caring, and an all-around amazing woman of faith. We were blessed to have the time we had with her!
