Donna Mentzer Obituary

Dear Cindy, Craig, Amanda and all of Donna's family,
We just heard of Donna's passing and are so sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful lady and with Don, raised a great family and put on a fantastic music festival. We will all miss her and are grateful for our friendship through the years. We also want to thank you for your donation of all of the CD's in her memory! We just learned of that today as well, and are very grateful. We will share them, and her memory with the attendees at our festival. You all are in our prayers and we send our deepest sympathy on the loss of such a dear lady. Bob and Susan McLemore and Family, and the Pickin' on the Plains Bluegrass Committee

My sympathy and prayers. Always loved the Bluegrass Festival
She was a great person.

Donna was such a nice lady. She will be missed at church and at Linden. Loved it when the Bluegrass Festival was here and she had such a big part in that. Rest in peace Donna.

So sorry to see of the death of your dear mother.. Your family has meant alot to us over the years. Espicially during the Bluegrass time. Lots of fond memories there. My folks looked forward to that every year. Praying for you during this time of sorrow. God be with you.

Ms. Donna had the BEST witty, (and sometimes sassy), remarks. Her "comebacks" were filled with "vim and vinegar". I enjoyed spending time with her when I worked for Home Instead. Oh my - how she LOVED watching POLKA on television and we talked about the Grand Ol' Opery and Country Western-Blue Grass music!!! She enjoyed sharing stories of her Blue Grass Festivals and the people who attended. She shared stories of her RV days - about people she knew - and DOGS. I loved that little BANJO and remember when he had to go see Jesus. Now....Ms. Donna is with Jesus - and she KNEW the Lord and was proud of her Baptist roots!!! I shall never forget all the cookbooks she had collected and how she loved PINK - BLUSH PINK was her signature color. Thank you, Ms. Donna for blessing so many with your humor and your love of music...I shall never forget the moments we spent together.

Cindy, I am sure sorry for your loss. The Mentzers were always favorites of mine - from the baseball days of long ago to today. You can be sure that your Mom is smiling down on you along with Don and Doug now. They're in God's arms.

Donna was a beautiful woman and loved her family with a passion. I met Donna while working for Mentzer Oil and enjoyed visiting with her and Don and always brought Pepper along.
My deepest sympathy to the entire family.

Your love for bluegrass music will always be remembered. I am honored to have supported you for many years so the bluegrass festival could be enjoyed by so many.

I enjoyed talking with you about bluegrass with you. It was pleasure to be of any help to you. Jesus has you now. I am sure you are enjoying the music! Praying for your family and friends as you will be missed.

God Bless the family. Prayers to all

Our love and prayers are with you and your family. Bob worked for Don before and after he went to Vietnam. Donna sent care packages to Bob very month while he served. Wonderful people.

Miss Donna, I sure miss helping with the Bluegrass Festival every April, and I miss seeing all the Bluegrass helpers and volunteers that made the show go on...I always took a weeks vacation just to be available to help...I really looked forward to it...I'm glad that you have went home to be with Don and Doug...I have the family in my thoughts and prayers...may you rest in peace...you were like another mom to me...R.I.P....
