Born May 22, 1941, in Clinton, she was the daughter of the late Ray Summers and Eula Elaine Thomas Summers. Donna was a 1958 graduate of Lincoln High School and later earned a degree in word processing from State Fair Community College. On November 10, 1994, she married Marvin Rehmer who preceded her in death on June 10, 2015. During their marriage one of the things that Donna and Marvin enjoyed doing for several years were being snowbirds in Zapata, TX. Donna moved to rural Marshall 15 years ago to live near her daughter and attended Calvary Baptist Church in Marshall. She enjoyed quilting, doing puzzles, was a voracious reader, and loved planting a massive garden each year.
She is survived by one son, Roger Rowan (Penny) of Greenville, TN; one daughter, Carla England (Randy) of rural Marshall; a stepson, Eric Rehmer (Mindy) of Sedalia; six grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; one brother, Herbie Summers of Lee’s Summit; as well as many nieces and nephews.
