Donna Hardy, daughter of the
late Chris and Hilda Murray,
born on April 5, 1942, sadly
passed away on Christmas Eve
due to heart complications.
Donna graduated from
Central High School in 1960 in
Grand Junction, CO. She was
a veteran of the United States
Air Force where she served as
a Communications Specialist at
Buckley Air force Base in Denver, Colorado.
She really enjoyed fishing, hunting, and being outdoors, but most
of all she loved creating crafts for those she loved and was a very
talented artist whose latest creations were beautiful paintings on
river rocks. Creating and fixing jewelry for friends was one of her
ongoing passions, seed-bead jewelry being her favorite, until she
discovered painting rocks. She recently crocheted a scarf and hat
for herself in just couple of days just because she needed to use up
some yarn. In her lifetime she could literally make or fix just about
anything she put her mind to.
Donna was a very loving spirit who saw the best in everyone,
never met anyone that wasn’t a friend, and would have spent her
last dime to help a friend in need, but most of all she loved her fur
babies, Thor and Peanut.
Donna was preceded in death by her mother, Hilda; father, Chris;
brothers, Roger and Jimmy, and sister, Lynda.
She is survived by daughter, Jody (Daniel) Rosette, Grand
Junction, CO; son, Bo (Wanda) Hardy, Las Vegas, NV; brothers,
Vernon (Martha) Murray, Rifle, CO, and Randy Murray, Rifle,
CO; sisters, Charlene Parker, Rifle, CO, and Pamela Murray, New
Mexico; granddaughters, Kristin Mercer, Tiffany Golovich, and
Tamra Daman; grandsons, Ethan Mercer and Tyler Hardy, and six
great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, Donna would like for any contributions to be
made to her grandson’s nonprofit dog rescue, “For the Howl of It
Animal Rescue” www.forthehowlofit.com/ (Click on donate link),

A Celebration of life service will tentatively be scheduled on
April 5, 2020 (Donna’s Birthday). Information will be sent out later.
