Through the years she was active in many local, church and civic organizations. PTA president, "Jaycee-ettes'" president, Murray Women's Club, IPPA of America certificate recipient. She taught Primary for 16 years, Stake Primary Board, Sunday School organization for 25 years, second counselor in Primary, Relief Society, Spiritual Living teacher, Cultural Refinement.

"My inspiration and love for photography comes from my beautiful, dear wife Donna, who has been at my side for over fifty years. She has been my very best friend, business partner and the single greatest influence in my life. She will never realize how many lives she has touched and how she has enriched my own." Her eternal partner, Don C. Blair.
