On April 21, 1963 she was united in marriage to Darryl G. Halcomb and was blessed with three children Kimberly Kay, Darryl Gene Jr., and Virginia Lynn.
Darryl and Donna made their home in Emmetsburg. Donna worked for Berkley’s for 16 years until the business closed and moved to Spirit Lake. She worked at Kathleen’s Residential Care for six years before starting at SNC Manufacturing where she retired in 2003.
Donna enjoyed spending time with her family and welcoming eight grandchildren, which she enjoyed watching grow into amazing adults. She liked to watch her oldest grandson, Chris race his stockcar in Algona and watch her youngest granddaughter Alyssa sing in the choir during high school. She also was blessed with ten great-grandchildren. She enjoyed watching Jack play football and buying Girl Scout cookies from Bailee. Most recently she saw two of her great grand-daughters wearing their Halloween costumes. Family was everything.
