Donna Lou Knudson, daughter of Paul and Irene Jung, was born April 21, 1936, in Omaha, Neb.

They were blessed with six children, Jeffrey, Clinton, Kelly, Suzanne, Creighton, and Julie. Donna had her hands full raising six kids while also being instrumental in maintaining their dairy farm in Lindy until she moved away in 1978.
She worked at the Holiday Inn as a waitress in Red Oak and then as a server at the Louisville Country Club in Louisville, Ky., for several years. Due to health reasons, she eventually moved to Cummings, Ga., to live with her son Clinton Knudson where she has lived out the remainder of her life.
