LeDonna Haugen, beloved sister, aunt, great aunt and friend of many, passed away peacefully on Aug. 20 after almost 85 years of life.

Although Donna spent over 40 years as a bookkeeper and office manager to several successful businesses in the Portland area, her greatest legacy to her family was how she touched so many lives through her extraordinary integrity, her intelligence, her wit, and her ability to teach, counsel and communicate with her large family and the dear friends she made throughout her lifetime.

Donna, the eldest daughter of Obert and Luella (Vangsness) Haugen, is survived by three sisters, Barbara Herb and Elizabeth (Bette) Thomas of Vancouver, and LuAnn Seawright of Los Alamos, New Mexico; and 12 nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by brothers, Bud and Jarvis.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Legacy Hospital Cancer Care/Salmon Creek.
