Donna Mae Kost passed away, with her family by her side, on July 28, 2021 in Lodi, CA, at the age of 86. Donna was born on October 1, 1934 in Harvey, North Dakota to her parents Ben and Hulda Harr.

Donna was a homemaker that enjoyed cooking, working in her yard and taking care of her family. She was generous with her family to a fault. Donna lived in her home for 61 years and enjoyed walking to see her neighbor and best friend, Pauline Litfin. She was always eager to learn and master new things. She loved researching on her computer into her eighties. She had a sense of humor that could make you shake your head and giggle for weeks.

She is survived by her son; Larry (Tia) Kost. Grandchildren; Dustin (Amber) Kost, Kyle Kost, and Carly (Patrick) Glover; great granddaughter, Olivia; and her precious kitty, Lulu. She will be held forever in our hearts.
