Dona French Obituary (1931 - 2025) - Santa Clarita, California

From the desk of Suzanne French, let us celebrate the spirited life of my mother, Dona Virginia French, born a lively Kansas girl on the 1st of March, 1931, in Topeka. Our charismatic Dona, with her loving and resilient spirit, danced her way through this life until February 28, 2025. For 73 of her vibrant years, Santa Clarita, California was blessed to be called her home. Dona was a force to be reckoned with, even in the face of adversity. Dona's life was always centered around her loved ones. A quote by Maya Angelou beautifully describes her, "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style." This was Dona, a woman who lived for her family, who found joy in the simple pleasures of life, and who remained resilient through all of life's storms. Her last moments were spent surrounded by the warmth of her daughter, Suzanne, and her grandchildren. She leaves behind a legacy of love and resilience in her large family. She joins her parents, Franklin and Edyth Jamieson, in peaceful rest. We will always miss our spirited Dona, but she will never be forgotten. Please share your memories and photos of Dona on her memorial page, as every shared memory will help keep her charismatic spirit alive in our hearts. Please consider supporting the French family and make a small contribution toward the cost of funeral arrangements. Your love and support during this time is greatly appreciated and valued by her immediate family that have been entrusted with the care of her final arrangements.
