Donna Jean Bridger

 aged 82, peacefully passed away on March 26^th, in Minnesota. Born on January 13th, 1942, in California to Martha & Ruben Franks, Donna’s journey was marked by love, dedication, and passion.

Her love extended boundlessly to her daughters and her heart overflowed with pride for her grandchildren, whom she adored and cherished.

Throughout her adult life, Donna held many roles, such as factory worker, homemaker (mother, teacher, nurse, storyteller, chauffeur, personal shopper, cleaner, caretaker) and pull-tab gal at a bowling alley bar.

Through all her responsibilities she was also the party planner for family gatherings and found immense joy planting flowers in her garden.

Donna leaves behind her loving husband, Larry; daughters: Nancy, Becky and Shauna; along with her five cherished grandchildren, two great grandchildren and brother, Robert.

She is preceded in death by her loving parents and her beloved twin sister, Lonna Gifford (3/31/2020). In the hearts of those she touched, Donna’s legacy of love and dedication will forever endure.
