I am raising money to assist me in covering the final arrangements for Donnie who I was married to in 1994. Donnie Buzzell was a kind and gentle soul who had a passion for God, our two children Kristen and Jessica, and his four grandchildren, whom he loved and cherished deeply. He spent time with them through visits to Alaska and New York and daily FaceTime calls. Donnie was funny and lighthearted, always willing to show up and help his friends and family. His birthday is next week, and he loved fishing, so when the opportunity to celebrate by fishing came up, he jumped at the chance to go to Bell Cow Lake on Saturday, April 18th.

While on the lake in a boat, trying to catch that elusive birthday fish, an accident happened. Donnie and his friend both lost their lives when the boat sank in the frigid waters for reasons we still don’t know yet. Donnie lived a modest life in Chandler, Oklahoma. We are seeking your help to assist with funeral expenses and travel for his only surviving daughter Kristen in Alaska and his brother Terry in Indiana, so they can come lay Donnie to rest.

Any support is deeply appreciated during this difficult time. Thank you for helping us honor Donnie’s memory and bring his loved ones together to say goodbye.

services will be announced soon
