Donna Price

Donna was born in San Antonio on September 24, 1943 where her parents of blessed memory , Ethel and Herman Zweiban , were stationed with the US Army. After the war, they came to Gary, Indiana where her family had a retail fur business. A brother, Glenn, of blessed memory, was born in 1945. She graduated from high school in 1961 with highest honors. Then she went off to Indiana University where she graduated after three years with a degree in Education, again as an honor student.

Donna met Harry at the age of 16 and they have been together since. After her graduation, they were married in Gary on August 16, 1964. She taught English and Latin at an Indianapolis high school for several years, supporting her husband in medical school. Several years later, a family was started with the births of Martin, Brian, and Eric Price. Her children were the loves of her life. She even studied and completed a bat mitzvah at Congregation Beth Yeshurun to be better prepared for their bar mitzvahs. Donna then enrolled at the University of Houston and achieved a Masters degree in Counseling. She also worked at Jewish Family Service helping with the influx of Russian Jews to Houston.

Eventually, she had a twenty year career as Director of Students with Disabilities Department at Houston Community College.

Donna was an active member of the Jewish community, with fifty years of membership in Congregation Beth Yeshurun, even serving on its board of directors. Houston ORT, Hadassah, and the Houston chapter of National Council of Jewish Women were her passions.

Family was extremely important to Donna. She had including, six grandchildren , Benjamin, Madison, Jacob, Jordan, Marley, and Blake. They were her most precious jewels. She was constantly interested in their growth and maturity. Donna had a very close relationship with their daughters-in-law, Kimberly, Samantha, and Argenae Price. Every year for twenty years, the entire family awaited and enjoyed the “the vacation,” usually to all-inclusive resorts.

Donna and Harry enjoyed many activities together. They traveled the world by taking various trips several times each year. Donna enjoyed mah jong and competitive bridge with her many friends.
