Donna was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served her first mission in Wroclaw, Poland, and a second at the Family History Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Our dear mother is survived by her eight children Wendy, Christian, Jonathan, Samuel, Jason, Ashleigh, Andrew and Lundyn, 29 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren, and sisters Gail, Jane and Angela. Formerly married to the late Stephen Thomas Kimball.
