Donna Corwin Obituary

Donna Rae

Corwin

1947 - 2017

Donna Corwin of Eugene, OR, passed away on April 18 at the age of 70. A wife, sister, mother of three, grandmother of seven, long-time insurance industry professional at Pacific Benefit Consultants and, along with her husband Dave, the owner of Corwin Farms in River Road, Donna was beloved by an entire community of friends, family, colleagues and clients. Strong, optimistic and quick to laugh, no one was a stranger to Donna and many considered her their second mom. She saw the world through rose colored glasses. Whether vacationing in Hawaii, on the farm or RV camping, she enjoyed sunsets, the soft summer breezes she called "velvet air" and of course Dave's margaritas. Donna was Eugene's original hometown girl having attended Santa Clara Elementary, Colin Kelly, North Eugene High and the University of Oregon. She gave back to our community as a PTA president, Girl Scout leader and volunteer for the Santa Clara Fire District. We will miss her humor, strength and love for family. A celebration of life will be held this summer.

No words can describe the loss. Donna was one of a kind, fun, loving, warm, happy. No long ago she and I had talked about how blessed we both had been to have had such wonderful husbands the second time around. I know Dave and Donna shared many happy years together.

Thank you Dave for all the love you shared with Donna. You were both truly blessed.
