Donna Artellia Frisby passed away peacefully on October 23, 2021 with her family by her side in Post Falls, Idaho. She truly missed the “love of her life, Howard Frisby, of more than 64 years when he passed 2 months prior. He was waiting with open arms for her along with her Lord and Savior and their son Bo.

Donna worked at Greyhound Lines and Dial Corporation as an IT programmer. Donna was a very active person later in life. She still took courses at ASU, had women's ASU season basketball tickets and to the Phoenix Symphony. She was in a monthly book club and was an avid crafter. Donna adored her family and was also “mom Frisby” to so many. People were always welcome at her home. Anyone who knew her would say she was the kindest, most giving and loving person. She was a great example for all of us. She will be remembered for her sweet disposition, strong love, beautiful smile and amazing hugs. She will be dearly missed by her loving family and friends.

Howard Earl Frisby, 85, died in the loving arms of his family in Scottsdale, Arizona on August 4, 2021. He was born in California on June 1, 1936 to Birdie and Henry Frisby. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather.

Howard was a great friend and mentor to many. He married his high school sweetheart, Donna in 1957. They had three children: Artie, Nathan (Bo), and Rodney. Family was the most important part of life to him. Howard started his career as a barber in his family-owned barbershop in Paso Robles, California. The family moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1968 where he became a real estate investor and broker with Jim Frisby at Income Consultants Corporation.

He will be remembered for his treasury of jokes, his entertaining stories, his incredible work ethic and his willingness to help anyone, day or night. He was an avid hunter and fisherman and loved camping in the desert in his motorhome, exploring the hills and mines in his Polaris Rzr side by side! He will be forever missed and loved.

There will be a double celebration of life for Donna and her loving husband Howard on April 23, 2022 at 11 am at Green Acres Mortuary. The family would like to give a huge thank you to Hospice of North Idaho, especially those angels that helped care for her.
