Donna J. Turner
July 12,2020. A generational Montanan born the 1st day of Spring March 20, 1927 to James & Bessie Quinn.
Donna grew up on the “edge” of bustling Billings when Pioneer Park did not even exist! With her family being railroaders & business owners, Donna had a busy upbringing riding on trains, clothes-buying trips, visiting aunts, singing, tap dancing & church.
At the age of 16, Donna met her 1 & only, Paul Kozeluh (Turner) at Dintys, eventually resulting in 6 children! They enjoyed square dancing, pinochle, The Windmill, Yellowstone, Chico, rodeos & their cabin in Fishtail.
After Paul died in 1986, Donna fulfilled her wanderlust of traveling to Israel, Hawaii, Texas Alaska & more! She Loved GOD, her Girls, Family, Friends, USA, her cat Taffy (who stuck to her), rabbit (Dan), dark chocolate & people. This led her to many hours of volunteering at Carenet (LaVie), the Womens Prison Ministry & Church! She was also Billings School Bus Driver for 20+ years!
