January 16, 1938 —April 23, 2014
Donna, beloved wife and mother, passed away peacefully at home with her devoted and loving husband of 58 years by her side, in Fall City.
Donna was born to Robert and Aretta Fay in Colville on Jan. 16, 1938. She attended Highline High School, and at the age of 18, married the love of her life, Richard, known to many as “Tex.”
Donna Corrine (Fay) Mclemore
Donna was a devoted wife and homemaker, spending countless hours making their house a home and gathering spot for all the neighborhood kids. She was a natural with children — loved animals and rescuing those who needed help — and was drawn to the beauty and peacefulness of the outdoors. She was a kind and gentle person all around.
Donna fought long and hard during her illness, all the while it still came easy to lend her smile and gentle love to the end.
“Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
Donna is survived by her husband Richard “Tex” Mclemore, of Fall City; son Robert, of Fall City; son Matt (wife Kim), of North Carolina; daughter Becky (husband Frank), of LaConner. She will also be missed by 12 grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; two brothers: Bob Fay, of Oroville, and Jerry Fay (wife Lois), of Spokane; and numerous nieces and nephews.
A service will be at 2 p.m. May 18 at Valley Christian Assembly Church, 32725 S.E. 42nd St., Fall City.
