Donna Lee Jones

Our beloved Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother and Friend was called home on January 17, 2021 after a brief battle with Covid-19. Born January 7, 1930 in Ishpeming MI, she moved to Duluth MN as a teenager with her parents. She is now reunited in Heaven with her son Dennis, grandson Max Evensen, husband Columbus Jones, parents Wes and Carrie Wallin.

Donna is survived and much loved by her children Terry (Shirley) Campetti, John (Misty) Pawlowicz and Kerry (Dale) Evensen; Grandchildren: Terry (Wendy) Holte; Sydney and Blake Evensen, John, Randy and Matina Campetti, Jill (Jan) Pribislavsky; Kate (Jack) Dalbeck and six Great-Grandchildren.

She loved her career managing Senior Living Apartments for several years. She treated the residents as family and always made sure they had a warm Holiday meal.

Donna had a heart of gold, a strong faith and was passionate about her family and friends. She was often described as an “angel here on earth” and always put the needs of others before her own. Family was the light of her life and she will always be our guiding light. We miss her daily calls, her sweet laugh, her beautiful smile and her sense of adventure. She was one classy lady, always “dolled up” with the perfect hair, bright lipstick, jewelry, sparkle & sequins.

She will be laid to rest in Duluth with husband Columbus, son Dennis and Parents.  A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Memorials preferred in Donna’s  honor to the  “Max Evensen Scholarship Fund” c/o Lake Elmo Bank, 11465 39th Street N, PO Box 857, Lake Elmo, MN 55042.
