Donna Jean (Lynch) Low

Donna Jean (Lynch) Low, 91, passed peacefully of natural causes on November 3, 2021, in Great Falls, MT. Donna was born on March 30, 1930, in Great Falls, and was the only child of Francis and Thelma Lynch. Donna graduated from Great Falls High School in 1948. During her school years, Donna participated in multiple student organizations, and was a member of the Delphian choir. Following her graduation from high school, Donna worked at the Farmers Union Co-Op Creamery Assn. (Falls Maid) as a licensed egg Candler, Grader, and Babcock cream-butter tester. This, too, was where she met her husband, Willard Low. Donna and Willard were married on St. Patrick’s Day, 1951. Together they had three children, Howie, Rick, and Valerie. Willard passed away unexpectedly in 1971. While Donna continued to raise her children in the family home, she worked as an account supervisor at Poulsen’s Inc. - PV Thunderbird. Following the sale of PV Thunderbird, Donna moved to Helena in 1983, and continued her bookkeeping career at UBC Lumber Supply. Donna retired in 1993 and moved to Canyon Ferry Lake. In 1999, following a marriage to Norm Rognlie, Donna relocated back to Great Falls to be closer to her children and many lifelong friends. Donna loved to dance and danced as often as she could. When she could no longer dance, she still enjoyed her music, especially the jazz records that she collected from the many festivals she attended. Donna also loved to travel. She visited much of the U.S., including Alaska and Hawaii, and had multiple trips abroad, enjoying Ireland, Europe, Malaysia, and Australia. She was also a member of First Congregational and Central Christian Church communities in Great Falls. Donna is survived by her son, Howie (Lydia) Low; daughter, Valerie (Greg) Hatley; daughter-in-law, Deb Low; grandchildren, Kenny Low, Stephene (Billy) Kamerman, Will Low; and two great-grandchildren, Cora and Lucy Kamerman. Donna was preceded in death by her first husband, Willard and their son Rick, who recently passed in April. Pursuant to Donna’s request, there will be no formal services. A special thanks for the wonderful care provided to Donna goes to Dr. Bergman and his staff, Peace Hospice, and the Arnott family.
