She is the beloved matriarch of 20 grandchildren, 43 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild.
Donna spent a happy childhood in Provo, Utah and teen years in San Diego, Calif. Here she met her life-long love, Dee Casper, to whom she was married on May 31, 1941. They lived throughout the western states and spent a number of years abroad in Canada, Tonga and England working for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Mom found joy in her family, in the beauties of nature, in learning and in her deep and abiding faith. She is an example to all her posterity of “enduring to the end.”
