Donna Marie Herdejurgen, age 84 passed away on Monday, August 31, 2020. Donna was born June 30, 1936 in Houston, Texas. Donna graduated from Reagan High School in 1954 and was also a part of the Red Coats (band). She fell in love with all kinds of music but if you were to ask who her favorite signer was she would most definitely say Elvis Presley. Plus she also loved attending different musicals. On October 15, 1955, Donna married the love of her life, Allen Ross Herdejurgen. She became a member of Garden Oaks Baptist Church and stayed there for over 55 years, where she played the piano in the children’s department for many of those years. She was very active in her children’s school. At one time, she was actually a PTA president at Garden Oaks Elementary. After her children were old enough, she went to work alongside her husband at Mobile Typewriter until she retired. The workers there became like a second family to her. Throughout her life, she traveled to many places, but her favorite places were Japan and Hawaii. Most of all she loved and cared deeply for her family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was very supportive and would do anything for all of them. Throughout her lifetime, she has touched so many lives and will surely be missed by everyone. Donna is survived by her son Scott Allen Herdejurgen and his wife Mildred; grandchildren Courtney Marie Cullever and her husband Stacy, Lisa Marie GoBoncan and her husband John Gil, David Allen Herdejurgen and his fiancé Kristy, great grandchildren Mark Anthony GoBoncan, Harlie Cullever, Torey Cullever, Mia GoBoncan, Isabelle GoBoncan and former daughter-in-law Marilyn Herdejurgen. Donna was preceded in death by her husband Allen Ross Herdejurgen; son Bradley Ross Herdejurgen.
