Donna Friend was the last of Adolph and Lorena (Vetter) Friends’ eight children. She was born in a small house across the street from the packing house on Yorba Linda Blvd. The family moved to “the ranch” (as the family all called it) on Esperanza where her Dad ran cattle from the 40s to the early 1960s.

Donna met the love of her life, Bob Graf (deceased) at Valencia High School. They married in the late 40s, had two children, Deborah (Francisco Pinneli) and Robert, Jr. (deceased) and moved from an orange grove on Palm Drive in Placentia to Fullerton in the mid 50s. They returned to Placentia in 1970 to the house she lived in with her beloved animals for the rest of her life.

She is survived by Deborah, Francisco, grandchildren Matthew, Joseph, Daniel, and Lisa, six great grandchildren, a great great granddaughter scheduled to arrive late summer and many cherished nieces and nephews.
