Preceded in death by her parents, siblings: Vivian, Bernice, Gwen, Grace, Miles and David; and 14 grandchildren. Survived by her sister, Jeanne, niece Joyce, who was raised as a sister, children: Sharron DiFabrizio, West Jordan, UT, Jerry (Ike) Defa, Olympia, WA, Kenny (Fama) Defa, Huntington, UT, Jeanette Defa, Washington, UT, Lynette Taylor, Sandy, UT, Becky (Mark) Flannery, Centerville, UT, Debbie (Russell) Hall, Bountiful, UT, Jimmy (Crystal) Judd, Elmo, UT, Richard (Judy) Judd, Provo, UT and Steven Judd; 42 grandchildren, 93 great-grandchildren; and 8 great-great-grandchildren.
Donna was small in stature but enormous in spirit and her approach to life. Waste-not-want-not, was her motto as she lived every day to its' fullest, not bashful to let you know how she felt. She boasted a bit about how good she was at softball, and how numerous teams sought her out to play for them. She would out work anyone, and mandated that work always come before play, a rule you didn't dare break.
Commitment to principle, family, work and the Lord was the role she loved, and perfected throughout her life. She loved family, music and children and will be missed by everyone.
Purple and pink are her colors and we will think of her whenever we see them. Grandma, we love you, and the legacy you have molded in all of us, thank you.
The family would like to thank Heart and Home Assisted Living and Renew Hospice who loved and cared for Donna every day.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, January 27, 2018 at the Bountiful 24th Ward, 720 East 500 North, Bountiful, Utah.
