Donna obtained degrees from both Western Nebraska Community College and Chadron State. She loved to travel and was an avid reader. Other hobbies included swimming at the Splash followed by coffee with friends. She was passionate about the organizations she belonged to like Keep Scottsbluff-Gering Beautiful, Friend of Lied Scottsbluff Library, Legacy of the Plains, and Valley Christian Neighbors.
Donna is survived by her daughters and their spouses along with 16 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren, sister Pat Staab and brother Frank Wiesner.
She was preceded in death by her husband Gary, parents, sister Mary Scheer and brother Jim Wiesner, and granddaughter Grace Martindale.
