Donna and Tex were my neighbors. We had a lot in common. Donna and I were both in the healthcare profession. Donna was always fun to be with! She was a happy hardworking friend and will be missed by all who were blessed enough to know her!
Donna and I met in 1962 at Ben Guerir Air Force Base, Morocco. Our Dads were stationed there at the time. We became close friends right from the beginning…spending time together at school, cheerleading, the teen club and riding her horse and spending the night on the weekends. We even met and had lunch with Anthony Quinn while he was filming Lawrence of Arabia. We have stayed in touch over the years, but sadly not as frequently as we use to. I hold her close in my heart.❤️🌷❤️

Donna and I met in 1962 at Ben Guerir Air Force Base, Morocco, where our Dads were stationed at the time. We were friends from the start, were on our school’s cheerleading squad, spent weekend days riding Donna’s horse, Saturday nights at the movies or with friends at the teen club dancing and listening to music. We even met and had lunch with Anthony Quinn when he was in Morocco filming Lawrence Of Arabia. We saw each other a couple of times after we married and started our new lives. We stayed in touch through the years, but regretfully not as much as time went by. Donna was a special person and we shared so many happy times together in our younger years. She also had a special Mom.❤️🌷
Donna has been like a sister and best friend to me. We went through nursing school together, studying, and then working together. I remember going to carport sales, watching movies, eating popcorn. We also had many holiday meals, and had fun going camping in our trailers. We were always there for each other. I will miss her. Sorry for your loss. 💕
