Donna grew up in Hartford, IL where she graduated from East Alton - Wood River High School. Donna and Rollin were only friends until she threw a welcome home party for Rollin and his friend when they returned home from boot camp. That night they went to Bendal, IL to a dance hall where Rollin first asked Donna out. When Rollin left for the Navy, Donna wrote him everyday even if it was one sentence. They married on June 26th, 1954. Donna and Rollin moved to Spokane, WA in 1955 when Rollin got out of the Navy. In 1961 they moved to Medical Lake, WA where they raised their family. December 2000 they moved to Rathdrum, ID where they spent the last 16 years enjoying their retirement and each other’s company. They were blessed to spend 62 years together.
