My beloved cousin Donna was one of the people who has loved me and so many others into being. From the time she was born I’ve known her to be the calmest, most rational, most generously compassionate human I’ve ever known. I relish our childhood in Denver together, all the weekends and holidays at our Asp grandparents'. I relish our college days and early adulthood, sharing childbirth and La Leche League classes and living close enough to share early motherhood and our toddlers. Even in the years we lived far apart, I relish her beautiful quiet loving presence at every family gathering, every opportunity to meet up (even Tennessee!), trips we took together (especially California!) and who can forget Genoa barn dances and the precious history of our grandparents and mothers. In recent years I have relished our monthly phone conversations with all our laughs and tears, memories and problem solving. And I’ll never forget the sweet, quiet, practical help and support she has given me during the failing years of my mom, her “Aunt Billie.” I am a front seat witness to her loving dedication to family—past, present and future. She was the one who launched me into more Asp family history, cared for our family plots every year, stood by her parents and siblings through both joyful and challenging times and maintained relationships with relatives far and wide. The devotion of her husband, sons, daughter-in-laws and grandchildren are a testament to the incredible role she has played in making them the exceptional family she has nurtured into being. Her support and encouragement for her grandchildren has always been with an eye toward continuing to provide her loving support into their futures. Although no longer physically present, her calm, loving presence she shared with us will continue to inspire and be felt by me and all the people she loved. Thank you, dear Donna.

Donna will forever be remembered by all of us who knew and loved her. Donna always had a smile on her face and words of love to share. So many memories at church, at Redeemer, bible studies together and getting together for our lunches, and the phone calls to stay in touch until we would see each other again and give hugs and share our love. Devotions we shared daily will remain in my heart forever. Our Lord Jesus Christ has our wonderful friend in his precious arms now. Until we're all together again.🙏Prayers of Comfort, Love and God's Peace to all her family, now and the days, months and year's ahead forever and always.

Donna was like a sister to me. She gave me help and support. We had lots of great times together. She will be greatly missed. Love, Julie W. Donna was always ready to help anyone in times of need. Willing to advise when asked and ready to go that extra mile. She had a heart of gold. -Hilmar Donna, You were a wonderful daughter to me. We always enjoyed the times we got together here on earth. You were one great angel. I always felt good after we had a talk. May you have a wonderful journey. God Bless. -Thelma

I have known Donna Rappenecker Eaton since we started kindergarten at Godsman Elementary School, then off to Rishel Jr High and South High we all went. We were all blessed with an amazing friendship that lasted all these years. In April we were so fortunate to be able to celebrate Donald and Donna’s “70” Birthday which meant we were all “70” and celebrated together. Donna was sweet, kind and the caring person in our group. She was smart (straight A’s all thru school) and the quiet force. She met Tony at South High which added another member to our group. We didn’t get together often thru the years but when we did it was just like high school again. So much love and laughter. You will be missed dear friend❤️ Matt and Cheryl Verwys

Donna was one of the nicest people on earth! She was kind to everyone and made sure she talked with you. She will be missed dearly!

Donna was the best neighbor and friend anyone could ask for! She and Tony have always been there to help me when I needed it. Donna would also show up at my door with goodies during holidays. She was always willing to give me a ride and invite me to fun events. I'll never forget the fun time I had with Tony and Donna at Red Rocks. I've known some wonderful people in my lifetime, but no one with a kinder and sweeter spirit than Donna's. She was such a beautiful example of love and grace that all of us who knew her would be wise to follow each day. I'll never forget her and will miss her always.
