Donna met Edward Schwarzrock, and they married on June 9,1953. Donna and Ed started their family a year later, ultimately having 6 children together: Debra, Kenneth, Mary, Kevin, Bonnie and Kelly. Donna and Ed were married for 39 years until Ed’s passing in 1993. During the majority of these years, Donna kept herself busy as a homemaker until starting work outside the home. She worked at Swift turkey plant and Tuffy’s, in Perham from 1973-1976. Then she worked at the Pine County Sewing Factory until 1981. Donna and Ed retired on their farm in Evergreen as Dairy Farmers in 1991.

Donna enjoyed many hobbies including puzzles and crafting. She was an avid cook, baby whisperer, gardener, plant aficionado, baby farm animal nursemaid, bird watcher, and she had immense talent at knitting and crocheting-from socks, to hats, to mittens, to dish cloths, to intricate baptismal gowns and blankets; Treasures for all who received them. Her love, warmth, hugs, and humor will be missed.

In addition to Donna’s 6 children, she also has 21 grandchildren, and numerous great grandchildren, all of whom adore her. She is preceded in death by her husband Edward, daughter Bonnie, parents Elmer and Clara Quittschreiber and sisters Rose and Marion.
