Those fortunate enough to have known Donna Jane (Kindschy) White are greatly saddened by her death Thursday, Jan. 28, 2021, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Donna was born Aug. 23, 1947, in Kalispell, Mont., to Dwight and Mary Jane Kindschy. She grew up in Moscow, graduated from Moscow High School in 1965 and received her bachelorâs degree in elementary education from the University of Idaho.
Even as a child, Donna was a bright spark of energy, always adventurous and excited to explore unfamiliar places. This love of adventure would permeate her entire life, as she was never afraid to embark on new experiences. She had an uncanny ability to tackle whatever challenges she encountered with inner strength and resolve. Donna spent many memorable summers with her family at her maternal grandparentsâ farm near Kalispell, Mont., and at her fatherâs family farm in Hingham, Mont. Donna worked two summers in Glacier National Park at Lake McDonald Lodge, and loved hiking and meeting people from all over the world.
