Dona worked for the Kent School District as a teacher's aid, librarian, and with head start students. She so enjoyed working with kids of all ages including the time she was the lunchroom aid at Kentridge High School. She assisted in many different schools, after school programs supporting the children, and loved reading to the children.
Dona's favorite things were spending time with her family, camping with family and friends, and working with her flowers. She always had beautiful flowers that she tended to in the Spring and Summer and in the fall/winter time she loved jigsaw puzzles. Other activities were playing Bunco at the church with friends, spending time with her grandkids, and watching the Mariners and Seahawks on television with family.
Dona was preceded in death by her mother (Pauline), her husband (Maynard), brothers (Peter and Melvin), and sister (Maxine). She is survived by her sisters Elizabeth Rush and Ramona Sitter of Aberdeen South Dakota, her brother Marvin Reszler also of Aberdeen South Dakota, her daughters Penny Ackerson of Kent and Nancy Konen of Kent, her son-in-law David Konen of Kent, grandchildren Matthew and Stephanie Konen of Kent.
