Donna Louise Harleman was born March 2, 1933 to William Edwin and Hazel Lorene (Bailey) Mosher in Schell City, Missouri. She completed 12 years of school at Schell City and graduated in 1951. On March 14 1952 Donna married Raymond Harleman and to this union three children were born: Donald Ray, Rita Louise and Ronald Earl. Donna spent her entire life loving, caring and working for her family. She loved her family, friends and neighbors more than life itself. Donna loved to go to work every day. She is one of the few people who could say she really loved her job. She had worked 18½ years at International Shoe Company, 2½ years at Western Electric, 2 years at Hagel’s Manufacturing and 21 years at Johnson’s Telemetry. In February of 2008 she had to retire to care for Raymond who passed away in January 17, 2009. Retiring wasn’t easy for her, she had been a dedicated employee for so many years she was just lost and yearned for the chance to return to work. In August of 2009 Donna was diagnosed with state 4 lung cancer, which took her from us all too soon. Preceding Donna in death were her parents, one sister Lillian Mosher and her husband Raymond. Donna leaves behind a son Donald and wife Lucile, a daughter Rita and husband David Ryser, a son Ronald and wife Sherry, a sister Wilma and husband Roger Burnett, five grandchildren, Ben Cochran and wife Lisa, Marcus Cochran and wife Misty, James Cochran and wife Barbara, Alex Ryser and wife Ashley, Tyler Ryser; seven great-grandchildren, Kayla and Jacob Cochran, Ashten Alexander, Austin Cochran, Kamera and Draven Cochran and Kendall Ryser. Donna will be sadly missed. Until we meet again, we love you, Mom.
