Donna Jean Lester died on February 20, 2018 from Heart Failure. She was 65 years of age. She was preceded in death by her Father, Robert, her mother Bettie, her younger brother, William, and her maternal and paternal grandparents. She is survived by her husband, Elmer, her daughter, Mandy, and her husband Michael, and grandsons Ricky and Taylor, and her sister-in-law Diana and husband, and their son Jason, her nephew. Her older brother Steven is the last one of her immediate family to still live. Also surviving Donna were her husband’s relatives, Sandra and Sean with their four children and four grandchildren, and Shelly and Michael and their two children.

She was born on June 3, 1952 in Burbank, California at St. Joseph’s Hospital, the second child of Robert and Bettie and the only girl. She attended Washington Elementary, John Muir Jr. High, and Burbank Senior High Schools and graduated with the class of 1970. She also attended a few courses at Valley Community College of Van Nuys, California. Soon after, she became the mother of Mandy, and worked as a supervisor with the L.A. County welfare department while living in Panorama City, California. In 1989 she married Elmer Roseman and spent 28 happy years as his wife and beloved. At this time, she moved to Palmdale, California and spent the rest of her life within that locale. She and her husband stayed active in the bowling/social community of the area and developed many excellent friendships therein.

A memorial service is planned to take place during the middle of May and details will be announced when known.
