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 wed Ervin C. Kost on July 31, 1954 in Carson City, Nevada and they were married for 38 years, before his passing on October 2, 1992.

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 preceded in death by her parents, Ben and Hulda Harr; brother, Orville Harr; Son, Leslie Kost; infant daughter, Connie Kost and her husband, Ervin Kost.

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.

She will be held forever in our hearts.

Private family services were held.

Our family would like to give a special thanks to Balance Assisted Living and Memory Care in Lodi for their exceptional care while she was there, and to Donna’s amazing nurses from American Home Health & Hospice for their care and compassion, not only to Donna, but to our family.

The family has requested that remembrances be made in the form of contributions to the Alzheimers Association (Alzheimer’s and Dementia). https://www.alz.org/get-involved-now/other_ways_to_give
