Donna was born on May 12, 1940 in Henry, Nebraska to Dennis Charles Johnson and Evalyn Violet (Moomey) Johnson. Donna grew up in Henry and attended Chalk Butte school until the 8th grade where she furthered her education in Torrington, Wyoming. She obtained special training to become a nurses aide.
Donna married the love of her life, Jimmie Dale Clark, on May 11, 1957 at the Henry Methodist Church. To this union of 58 years, Richard, Gary, and Cathryn were born.
After working as a nurses aide for many years she became a stay at home wife and mother. Raising children and assisting her husband in several successful business adventures kept her very busy. She always managed to warm her friends and family with not only her kindness and giving nature, but her abundance of baked goods (especially her cinnamon rolls), and her lovingly crafted crotched and quilted projects.
Donna is survived by her sons, Gary (Susan) Clark of Milliken, CO, and Richard Clark of Alliance, NE; sister, Vivian Lillie of Homedale, ID; seven grandchildren and nineteen great-grandchildren.
She joins in her heavenly home, her husband Jimmie Clark; daughter, Cathryn Clark; sister, Roberta Rincker; and several other relatives.
