Donna Reynolds

Sept. 13, 1928- Feb. 23, 2011

Donna was born in Oakaloosa, Kansas to dairy farmer Arthur Carder and Hester Carder (Black).

Experiencing the Great Depression and WWII at an early age taught her independence, a strong work ethic, financial

responsibility, and a love for simple pleasures such as fishing, playing cards and games, or socializing with family.

Jobs were precious to Donna and whether it was as a waitress, airplane riveter, real estate agent, co-owning/ managing restaurants (Superior Caf and Skyline Steakhouse), or co-founder of Red Carpet Car Wash in Bend; she won a loyal customer following with friendly service and attention to quality.

Her 1971 marriage to Dwight O. (Dee) Reynolds brought her love, fun and a lifelong partnership. He was there for travel, adventure, discussion of world events and a daily game or two. He was also her constant companion and caretaker for the year she battled cancer.

Donna is survived by her husband, Dee Reynolds; two children, Sharon Fassett and Mike Fassett; three grandchildren, Darci Cronen, David Fassett, and Shelley Fassett- Janser; and five great grandchildren, Miah and Chase Cronen, Carson and Ryder Fassett and Karley Jo Janser.

Her extended family, Debi Fassett, Jerry Cronen, Angela Fassett, and Trevin Janser were a constant source of fun, love and support.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Schmidt and Katie; Partners In Care (Hospice), and At Home caretakers for their tender loving care and wishes that donations (in lieu of flowers) be sent to Hospice Partners in Care.

A memorial service is scheduled for 1 p.m., Friday, February 25, at Deschutes Memorial Gardens at the Chapel.
