"On April 7th, 1933 at home in Renton, Washington God gave Lockhart and Irene Kerr an amazing baby girl they named Donna Joan. She had an older sister Norma Jean and because her sister was nine years older she was raised much like an only child. Without other children her age at home to play with, she learned to play with and LOVE cats. At times she would even treat her cats like dolls, dressing them up and pushing them in her buggy. During her elementary years she attended Henry Ford School where she made many friends that lasted a lifetime. If you met Donna you knew she was something special. She was kind, caring, and a genuine friend.  She attended Renton Junior/Senior High School for six years where she made many friends, earned letters in Basketball, Volleyball, Baseball, and Bowling, was Student Body Secretary, carried a 3.95 GPA, was voted TOLO Queen, and met the love of her life. In 8th grade Donna just happened to meet a skinny blonde kid named Orville (Orv). They later dated in High School and became serious by their senior year and made plans to marry. Two years later on March 14, 1953 they were joined in marriage and became husband and wife. They were happily married for 65 years.  Two weeks prior to their wedding Orv was drafted into the Army Signal Core. After basic training, Donna joined him in California where she applied and was given the job as Secretary to the Company Commander. After the Korean War was over they returned to Renton, Washington to settle down and start a family. During this time she held a number of jobs including; working at Pacific Car and Foundry, Boeing, her Childrens schools, and as a book keeper for Enchanted Winds. However, her favorite occupation was being a mom.  The good Lord blessed her and Orv with four children: Lori, Michael, Brian, and David. She naturally became a loving and supportive mother. She was not only a SUPER MOM to her kids but to many of the neighborhood kids as well.  Donna and Orv built their dream home in 1969 in High Valley (Issaquah), where she lived until her passing. Donna was blessed and very happy to have twelve grandchildren: Paul, Timothy, Mitchell, Molly, Jeffrey, Wendy, Jennifer, Jakeh, Josiah, Peter, Grace, and Lydia, and six great-grandchildren: Timothy, Jackson, Maxwell, Bennett, Keira, and Olivia.  During the 70s and 80s she and Orv enjoyed traveling all over the United States in their trailer. In 1983 Donna and Orv, with the help of their boys, built a family cabin near Mount Rainier where many happy family events and vacations have taken place over the years.  Sadly, Donna passed away on September 17th, 2018 due to cancer but was surrounded by her caring family, who she loved deeply and would do anything for. The celebration of Donnas life will be held at 2pm on October 20th, 2018 at the Fairwood Community United Methodist Church located at 15255 SE Fairwood Blvd Renton, WA 98058."
