Ola Grace (White) Donaldson, aged 83 years, passed into glory Monday, July 2, 2018 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She preferred using her middle name, Grace, and to all that knew her, it described her life.
She was born June 4, 1935 on a farm in rural Newtonia, Missouri. Grace met Marvin Donald in Springfield, Missouri and they married on January 25, 1956. She blessed many with the gift of her time, empathy, and a listening ear. She loved babies, hymns and genealogy. Her extensive research of family history is an enduring contribution for generations to come. Even more enduring is the living testimony of her faith in Jesus, God in flesh, the Suffering Savior who lived, died and was raised again, who give life and life everlasting to all who believe.
She was preceded in death by her dear mother, Mary Elizabeth (Hawk) White, her father, Ray White, her sister, Irma Rice and her brothers, Harold and Silas White.
Grace is survived by her husband of 62 years, Marvin Donaldson, her children and their spouses: Terry and (Andre) Gerner of Colorado Springs, Michael and (Catherine) Donaldson of Fairbanks, Alaska, Robin and (Jerry) Znetko of Prescott, Arizona; as well as her four grandsons, Andre Gerner, Joe Gerner, Max Donaldson and Ti Donaldson.
