Donna Ann Boelter of SEGUIN, Texas | 1947 - 2020 | Obituary
October 08, 1947 - May 16, 2020
After battling Pulmonary Fibrosis for almost 3 years, Donna Ann Boelter passed away on May 16, 2020 at age 72 with her family by her side.
Donna was preceded in death by her father, Weldon Allen Bronstad, father-in-law Oscar William Boelter, and mother-in-law Erna Martha Boelter.

Donna attended and graduated from Arlington Heights High School in Fort Worth in 1965 where she was an excellent student and played softball and volleyball. She received an academic scholarship to attend Texas Lutheran College, now known as Texas Lutheran University, where she worked as the athletic secretary and met Melvin. She graduated with honors and received a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Education. She married Melvin in 1969.
She began her career in Seguin by teaching physical education and leading the cheerleaders at Joe F. Saegert Middle School before a move to Irving High School where she taught biology. Donna stayed at home to raise Shannon and Grant for 5 years and then returned as a teacher at Seguin High School where she taught biology and honors biology. In addition to her classroom duties, she chaired the science department and lead the school’s Science Fair program. Many of her students were recognized as best in state and went on to compete at the national level. She was recognized by Texas A&M as the Texas Junior Academy of Science Teacher of the Year, twice during her 38 years as an educator.
During the fall, Donna spent her days wearing black and gold, and then transitioned to Rocket red and grey under the Friday night lights. Donna was relentless and an unwavering supporter of her husband, her sons and their teams.
Donna and Melvin retired in 2012. They enjoyed traveling and spent much of their time on cruises to see places like Alaska, Hawaii, New England, Nova Scotia, the Caribbean Islands, Panama Canal, Rome, Spain, and the Mediterranean.
She will be missed by her family, friends and former students, but will be remembered for her smile and unwavering support of family and students. She held dearly her family in Christ at Faith Lutheran Church, especially members of the Love Circle.
