Donald was born on January 1, 1932 and graduated from Augusta High School in 1949. Following high school, he was drafted into the Army where he trained for mountaineering and cold weather rescues in Fort Carson, Colorado. After his service, he began his career as a truck driver and farmer. Many of his stories provided his passion for hauling steel with his “1 stack Mack with a window in the back” and farming with Farmall tractors while raising Hereford cattle. He found enjoyment in many things including: mowing hay, tinkering around the farm, trips to local diners and restaurants where he was known as “Pappy Sell”, John Wayne movies, Louis L’amour books, crossword and Sudoku puzzles, polka music, RFD TV, playing solitaire on the computer, mowing the yard, and the Cleveland Indians. His most enjoyable times were in the woods cutting firewood and the weekly Sunday Suppers when his family would get together at the farm. Donald devoted his life to hard work and caring for his family. He was a member of the Stumptown Steam Thresher’s Association, American Mountaineering Association, Farm Bureau, and the Wednesday lunch group that meets at Hoge’s. He was the son of John and Elsie (Schwechlik) Sell who preceded him in death, along with siblings, Edith Huffman and Glen “Tuffy”. Surviving siblings include, John (Erika), Clyde (Dottie), Norma (Richard) Firth, Patricia Hoffmaster, Susan (Donald) Gudat, and sister in law, Alberta Sell. He was very proud of his families threshing, saw milling, drilling rig, and steel hauling days. Donald married his loving wife of 57 years, Barbara (Bailey) on May 25, 1957. Together they taught their four children, Shirley (Michael) Phillips, Linda (Ron) Jackson, Jeff, and Laurie (Rick) Huston love, compassion, and a work ethic that they in turn passed on to Donald’s 10 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. He also had numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. His endless list of stories will be sadly missed by all. Burial will be at Woodsdale Cemetery.
