She was born on June 16, 1935, in Ellensburg, WA. Her father was Peter Schuller, who was a fire chief in Ellensburg, and her mother was Beatrice Cook, a housewife. She had two brothers: Robert and Harland; three step-sisters: Bernice Jensen, Sharon Thomlinson, and Karen Blankenship. Donna married Harold Alton on July 12, 1952. They had four children: Debra Peters, Linda Alton, Vicky Stevens, and Harold Alton, Jr. Donna's hobbies were sketching, acrylic painting, crocheting, knitting, tatting, and swedish weaving. Her activities were pickle ball and dancing. She enjoyed plays, concerts, and watching her grandchildren and great-grandchildren play their sports. She loved having fun, being silly, and wasn't afraid to try anything at least once. She became a hairdresser and cosmetologist on May 16, 1979. She had a great love for the Lord. Her hope is for all those she knew to see the work Jesus had done in her life and for all to know Jesus. She gave God all praise and glory for the life he chose for her. She was ready to meet him. Donna was preceded in death by her parents: Peter Schuller and Beatrice Nogle; husband, Harold Alton; brother, Robert Schuller; step-sister, Bernice Jensen; daughter-in-law, Kathy Alton. She is survived by brother, Harland Schuller (Sue); step-sisters: Sharon Thomlinson and Karen Blankenship; daughters: Debra Peters (Gary), Linda Alton, Vicky Stevens (Greg); son, Harold Alton; nine grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren. Her Testimony written by her God chose me and began a work in me at a young age, but it has only been in the last few years that I really began to grow in Him. It was almost 2 years ago, August of 2018, when I was diagnosed with Myeloma. Three years prior to that was when my body began to show signs of something being wrong, but the doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong. At the time of diagnosis, the doctors gave me 6 months to a year to live, but God had his own plans and I’m living them out for Him. I gave my life to the Lord in 1977. I was baptized in the Entiat River in 1979. Even though I gave my life to the Lord in 1977, I didn’t really begin to grow in Him until 2015 when my health issues began. During the time between 2015 and 2018, many health issues began to occur. It began with a numb feeling in my legs and feet. Then I faced a month or so of continuous bladder, kidney and urinary tract infections that stubbornly would not be cured. I was very sick, and it was at this time the doctors discovered I had a saddle embolism (blood clot). This was the first time I really felt to presence of the Lord comforting me. The EMT’s were reassuring me that they were going to take care of me, and I was reassuring them that we had a God bigger than this; and if it was my time, I was ready. There were many times when I questioned why this was happening to me. One thing I began to discover about My Lord is how he continued to give me hope and never gave me more than I could handle. One activity I really enjoyed was the game of pickleball. At my lowest points, He gave me another opportunity to play pickleball. He did this for me many times over the next 3 years. Through all of this, I began to realize my life was meant for more than pickleball. In 2018, when I was finally diagnosed with myeloma, I began to see my life differently. The Lord used the three years prior to my diagnosis to prepare and strengthen me through His Word and through the constant hope he was providing me. I now realize the most important part of my life is my relationship with the Lord and letting people know that we have a faithful and mighty God who will see us and carry us through anything we face. Since my diagnosis, I have had the opportunity to talk with my children, grandchildren and some of my great-grandchildren about the grace of God, and hope for eternal life that God, and the importance of knowing and living a life for Jesus. God has brought many people into my life, through church and bible studies, who have given me words of encouragement. Also, God has used my illness to help others get through their challenges if life. Through it all, He has carried me, encouraged me through His word and His people, and changed my life by helping me realize my real purpose in this life is to serve Him. My hope is for all those I know to see the work Jesus has done in my life. If you don’t know Jesus, don’t wait! You can have eternal life through Him, so repent your sins, acknowledge that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one, and invite Him into your life. There is nothing more important than this and knowing we will be together again in Heaven. I give God all praise and glory for the life He chose for me. God Bless You All
