Obituary Wednesday, March 11, 1998, Redmond Spokesman
Donna Bea McCall
Former Redmond resident Donna Bea McCall died March 4 at her home in Twin Falls, Idaho. Police there are investigating her death as a homicide. She was 51.
The funeral was at White Mortuary Chapel in Twin Falls.
Mrs. McCall was born Jan. 1, 1947, in Redmond, to Edward and Norma Kilgore. She spent her early childhood in Sutherlin, where she developed an appreciation for the outdoors, living in a logging camp and a tent house where blackberry bushes, a river and a giant forest were her back yard.
In 1954, she and her family returned to Redmond, where she developed many friends, who remember her smile, giggle and great sense of humor. In high school, she blossomed into a beautiful young woman who enjoyed Future Homemakers of America and being a homecoming princess.
After her parents died when she was a teenager, McCall and her four siblings were fortunate enough to have a second mother and father, their uncle and aunt, Dan and Ira Dell Kilgore of Redmond, who raised the five children and their own two as a new family.
After high school, Mrs. McCall attended Merit Davis in Salem. On March 22, 1969 she married Jack McCall. They divorced in 1987.
While in high school, Mrs. McCall volunteered as a "candy striper" at Central Oregon District Hospital and dreamed of one day becoming another Florence Nightingale. Her dream was realized in 1992, when McCall graduated at the top of her nursing school class at the College of Southern Idaho. She worked at Twin Falls Clinic and Hospital as a charge nurse of recovery and same day service. Those who worked with her called her the "sunshine" of the department.
McCall accomplished her dream while raising her two teen-age sons, whose friends called her "the mom of Twin Falls." She was especially prouid of her sons' recent graduation from college.
Mrs. McCall loved the outdoors, especially the Oregon coast and the mountains of Idaho. She enjoyed gardening and reading, was a volunteer for March of Dimes, and a Junior Club member. Mrs. McCall was proud of her heritage. Her maternal grandparents emigrated from Norway to Oregon in 1910, and her paternal grandparents traveled the Oregon Trail to southern Oregon in 1850.
Mrs. McCall is survived by her sons, John of Denver, and James of St. Louis, Mo.; her brother, Ole Kilgore; three sisters, Vicki Kilgore Saunders, Judy Cork and Carol Richards; her second parents, Dan and Ira Dell Kilgore of Redmond, and her second siblings, Harold and Linda Kilgore.
Memorial gifts may be made to the Twin Falls Clinic Memorial Fund.
