Named as honorary pallbearers are O.E. Markle, Allen Sevareid, Donny Johnson, Jim Kountz II, Jamie Rennick, Samantha Arneson, Scott Hedegaard, and the staff at Valley View Nursing Home.
Donna is survived by here three sons, Bob Jr. and Joe of Glasgow, and Tim (Monica) of Glendive; her sister Marie Hobby of Marietta, GA; her brothers Ralph (Rhea) Nelson of Manhattan, MT. and Brent (Eloise) Nelson of Tampa, FL; sisters-in-law Harriet (Roy) Keough and Mabel (Herb) Pagel of Havre; granddaughters Shelby and Lexi (Glendive) and Jordan (Glasgow); and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Born in Glasgow on February 4, 1946 to W. and Mabel (Humphries) Nelson, Donna attended school in both Glasgow and Tampico, before moving to Bozeman and then Cut Bank, where she attended her high school education at the tenth grade. She met Robert Rennick in Glasgow, where they married in 1965. They lived their lives together in Glasgow, raising three sons. Donna worked as a cook in several restaurants, as well as bartended at the Clansman, worked as an EMT and ambulance driver for Tommy Rodger’s Ambulance Service, and cared for residents as a CAN at Valley View Home..
Known for her quick wit and sense of humor, Donna loved the life she was given. “That’s life- what are you going to do?” was her oft stated line. She was dealt several near-death experiences. Through therapy and rehabilitation she was able to regain much of what she had lost: memory, strength, movement. A severe allergic reaction, two strokes, multiple long seizures and an aneurysm over twenty-two years did nothing but “build character, ” according to Donna. She enjoyed bowling, Ms. PacMan, reading, and family gatherings before her medical problems began; and crosswords, BINGO, the Billings Gazette, and card-playing after.
Donna was preceded in death by her husband Bob in 1999, her father and mother in 1956 and 1989, respectively, her brothers George Nelson and Buddy Nelson, and her sisters Julie Sevareid, Sharon Anderson, Helen Blanchard, and Marsha Smith.
