Donna Jean Waterman

Donna Jean Waterman was born on December 6, 1925 in Pontiac and passed away June 14, 2015 at the age of 89. Donna Jean walked gracefully through this life. She was always kind and good natured, hardworking, unselfish, beautiful, and most of all, devoted to her family.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Theron Waterman and grandson, Jacob Beals. Surviving to cherish her memory are her daughters, Janice Beals and Jeri Munoz. She was a devoted grandmother to Donna Church, Kelli Dowling, Christine Beals, Jacqueline Munoz and Jared Munoz; great-grandmother to Daniel Dowling, Andrea Dowling, Mason Staab, Cambria Malorni and Gianna Malorni: she is survived by one brother, Ralph Ramirez. Donna Jean was at the center of our lives and was an extraordinary role model for us. Her long life gave us the chance to create many happy memories that we hold close in our hearts.

Our heartfelt thanks are extended to the staff at a Family Affair who tenderly cared for Donna at the end of her life. There will be a private graveside service. The family is being served by Gorsline Runciman East Lansing. On line condolences may be shared with the family at www.greastlansing.com.
