Donna Thatcher

Donna Sue Thatcher, 77, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, August 10, 2026 at the age of 77. Donna was born on April 2, 1949 to her parents, John and Agnes Mitchell.

As a child, Donna loved nothing more than driving the tractor with her dad. That love of the open road stayed with her, and in 1981 she began driving trucks. She survived two serious semi-truck accidents, and while recovering, she took college classes. She later worked in aircraft as an inspector, then trained as a CNC machinist and was learning to program when she was laid off during COVID. She then retired.

She was so very sweet and kind to everybody, and she helped a lot of people. For about four years she did charity work at Bread of Life, serving in Garments of Praise.

She loved art beadwork, cooking (especially anything sweet). She also loved gardening and had a natural green thumb. She loved and adored her dogs. She also loved horses and horseback riding, and she enjoyed watching old westerns like Gunsmoke. Her favorite color was purple, and her favorite flower was daisies.

Donna is preceded in death by her parents; and siblings, Jim Mitchell and Tracy Kottmeyer. She is survived by her three children, Tabatha Hibler, Harold "Butch" Thatcher, III, and Christie Thatcher; her sisters, Debbie Allen and Sandy Holub; her grandchildren, Pete, Zachary, Tori, Jeremy, Jessica, CJ, Garrett, Javion, and twelve great-grandchildren.

She is so very much loved and will be forever greatly missed.
