She was born on July 8, 1934 in Marshalltown, Iowa and was the seventh of seven daughters born to Thomas Edward Butler and Mayme Mae (Embree) Butler. Donna attended school in Liscomb, Iowa and graduated in 1952 from Liscomb High School as class president. On September 13, 1952, she married Robert Bays, Jr. of Liscomb, IA. They lived in El Paso, Texas from 1952-1954 while Bob served in the U.S. Army, moving to Union in 1954. She had various occupations at Bob’s Plumbing and Heating, Vaux Industries, True Value Hardware at the Gingersnap, a medical receptionist for Dr. Larry Cole, and retired as City Clerk from 1986-2004 for the city of Union. Donna enjoyed reading books, playing games, bird watching, and flower and vegetable gardening but her passion was her family. She followed Iowa State basketball and Chicago Cubs baseball. Donna was a member of the Community Church in Union, the American Legion Auxiliary, and the Red Hats of which she immensely looked forward to their social activities and outings with family and friends. While raising her three sons, Donna’s door was always open to other kids from Union who grew to love her like a mom. Donna’s kitchen never closed and remained open for her Morning Coffee Drinkers until the time of her passing. She will always be remembered as a loving and dedicated mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, and friend and will be dearly missed. Donna truly enjoyed the annual Butler Family Reunion and was known for serving her delicious potato salad but her real reunion was with the Lord. Left to cherish her memory are her three sons, Jeff Bays of Union, Tom (Kathy) Bays of Union, and Dan (Deb) Bays of Loveland, Colorado. Grandchildren Cody (Alyssa) Bays of Loveland, CO, Kasey Bays (Robert) of Fort Collins, CO, Courtney Bays of Mazon, IL, stepgrandchildren Kari (Andre) McClure and Kyle Gray, both of Colorado Springs, CO, nine great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
