Thomsen, Donna M (nee Johnson) Asleep in Jesus on Friday July 31, 2020. Beloved wife of the late Howard Thomsen, dear Mother of Linda (John) Loewenstein. Loving Grandmother of Aly and Joe Loewenstein, Great Grandmother of Kenzie Carlson and dear Aunt to her nieces and nephews. All of these she loved dearly.
Donna had the most positive spirit and loved to make others laugh. She had the gift to look at any situation and find humor in it. She unconditionally loved Linda, John, Aly, Joe, Kenzie, her entire family and for 45 years she took the best care of Howie. She could sew absolutely anything including wedding and bridesmaid dresses and she made over 25 quilts, often giving them away. For over 40 years she was the Birthday Cake Lady at Happy Joes. She fiercely loved her life-long friends, her many bridge club girls and her church family. Above all else, she had an unwavering faith, she loved God and volunteered at her church her entire life. Never seeking recognition, but always a cheerful giver. Simply no one can ever take her place, but we are all blessed to have had her wit, her smile and her love for 86 years.

To Donna’s Family: What a joy Donna was in my life. I was blessed to be a friend who shared her pew (third row from the front) at the 8:00a services at LCWG, volunteered with her stuffing hundreds of envelops for the LCMS, and listened to her witty stories and laughed and laughed with her. She will remain in my heart as a sweet GIVER to so many! My heartfelt condolences to you all.

I celebrate what God did in Donna’s life and how He blessed me and many in our congregation through her (and Howard). Her smile, her thoughtfulness, and her kindness are seared into my mind. Most of all, I was inspired by her confidence in Christ!
A funny story – on one of her frequent flier trips to St. Mary’s (thanks for your words Linda at the funeral), she told me in no uncertain terms that I was too young to be a widower and that I needed to get remarried! She was fun!
