She contracted polio in 1952, and was thereafter confined to a wheelchair. She graduated from Castana High School in 1959, and later took several college classes at night through Western Iowa Tech Community College. She moved into Castana with her parents in 1973, and was the city treasurer for twenty-three years. She was the Castana news correspondent for the local weekly newspapers for thirty-nine years. Donna was an active member of the Castana community, having been a charter member of the GFWC Junior 76’ers, a past member of the Castana Ladies Aid, Grimsley-Thayer American Legion Post #502, Centennial Club, as well as the Onawa Woman’s Club, Denison Repeater Association, Boyer Valley Amateur Radio Club, and the Timber Ridge 4-Wheel Drive Club. She also served on the county committee that successfully campaigned for the passage of the first local option sales tax in Monona County. She has resided at Elmwood Care Centre in Onawa since 1996, serving on the Resident Council, the Marketing Committee, and as editor of the facility newsletter for seven years.
