Donna was 83, born July 13, 1942, in Carroll, IA. As the second born in a family of eight, Donna was raised in Mt. Carmel, IA. She went on to study and graduate as an RN from the St. Catherine's School of Nursing in Omaha, NE. After moving to Minneapolis and while working as a surgical nurse at the University of Minnesota Hospital, she met her future husband. Donna married Douglas M. Wiedenman on August 22, 1968, and enjoyed 57 years of marriage with Doug. In addition to being a loving wife and mother, she had many interests, including painting, garage sales, thrifting, gardening, and travel. She especially loved spending time with family and friends.
