   Donna Clarice Moen was born September 15, 1932, to Carl J. and Dagney (Olson) Moen. Donna grew up on a farm near Whitman, ND with her siblings: Sherman, Almira, and Maurice.

   After graduating from Concordia College in 1954, she taught Business Training at the University of Minnesota at Morris, MN, then on to Fargo Central High School. Back in Fargo she met the love of her life- a ND Ag College/ Happy Hooligan pilot, William John Newell.

She was always involved in her community where she was a member of the Neche UMC (their pianist, choir member, quilter, and Sunday School teacher), Cub Scout & Girl Scouts, PTA, American Legion Auxiliary, Red Hatters, Square Dancing, and Eastern Star- she enjoyed them all. She had the privilege of being North Dakota’s Order of the Eastern Grand Organist in 1992-93.
