Donna Lee Head Jones was born September 14, 1936 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, to her parents, Raymond and Theresa (Werts) Head. She passed away Monday, December 5, 2005, at the age of 69.

Due to the divorce of her parents, at the age of 2, she went to live with her grandparents, Worthy and Nettie Werts and an aunt and uncle, Kenneth and Crystal Pratt of New Market, Iowa. She lived with them during the school year and with her mother during the summer. Her mother passed away when Donna was 14 years old. She had one sister, Wiona Head Hummell, who passed away at the age of thirty-three.

She attended grade school at Hawleyville, Iowa and graduated from high school at New Market. After high school graduation she went to work as a secretary.

She was married to David Jones on August 12, 1956. To this union were born two daughters: Rhonda (Mrs. Brent Mangold) of Storm Lake, IA, and Julie (Mrs. Greg Mooney) of Council Bluffs, IA. There are six grandchildren, Kevin Mangold, Alicia Mangold, Andrea Mangold, Kara Mooney, Kelsey Mooney, and Kyle Mooney.

Donna and her husband farmed in southwest Iowa the first 18 years of their married life until her husband joined the banking field and they moved to northwest Iowa. She had worked in offices as a secretary for many years and retired from her job with the Sac County Treasurer in 2001.

She was preceded in death by her father, mother, sister, grandparents, aunt and uncle, and father-in-law.

Those left to cherish her memory are her husband Dave; two daughters and sons-in-law: Rhonda and Brent Mangold and Julie and Greg Mooney; six grandchildren; mother-in-law, Clara Jones of Sac City; two sisters-in-law; and a host of friends.

She was a member of the United Methodist Church of Sac City where she was active in U.M.W. She was also a member of the Sewing Club, Fortnightly Club, Hospital Auxiliary Board, Couples Card Club, and past member of Wa-Tan-Ye.

Her biggest joy was her family and enjoying her grandchildren. She said many times the part she missed from retiring was all of the customers she had worked with everyday. She enjoyed people.
