Donna Marie Hughes, age 90, a long time Fir Island Resident passed away Tuesday, October 29, 2019.
Born on May 5, 1929 in Seattle, Donna was the daughter of Clifford and Thora Forcier. She attended Queen Anne High School.
On July 3, 1951 she married James L. “Jim” Hughes. Together they raised four sons and were busy with the many sports, 4-H activities and mischief that comes along with raising four boys. Donna and Jim took pride in their four sons who would grow up and continue to be the third generation farmers they were meant to be.
Donna enjoyed boating with her family and friends to various San Juan Islands, watching her children and then grandchildren cover themselves with mud at the family cabin on Juniper Beach and attending all the sports games she could. Donna would travel near and far to make sure she was at her sons', grandchildren’s, and even great grandchildren’s sports games.
Being a farmer’s wife, she could have been tired of the dirt, but not Donna. She took great pride in her yard and her produce stand, which was a local hot spot in its heyday with her prized tomatoes. Donna and Jim loved their well-earned vacations to Maui.
Donna is survived by her four sons: David (Leslie), Tom (Amy), Jeff (Jan) and Bob (Shelly); 12 grandchildren: Karie (Chris), Sarah (Ronald), Mary (Aaron), Brett, Chelsea, Michael (Alis), Jamie (Brian), Mandy (Lucas), Corey, Meagan, Alyssa (Jason) and Kinsey (Ben); 10 great-grandchildren: James (Jessica), Wesley, Jacob, Emma, Landon, Colton, Riley, Jakkson, Grayson and Owen; her in laws: Don & Margaret Semrau; and many nieces and nephews.
Donna is preceded in death by her husband, James Hughes; her sister and brother-in-law, Pat & Leo Besagno; and sister-in-law, Barbara Noel.
