Donald graduated from Miami University, served in the Ohio National Guard, and served as a Captain in the Army in Korea. He was a VP of Marketing and Sales at Mead Johnson in Evansville, IN for over 30 years. After retirement, he and Elaine enjoyed many years of camping in their GMC motorcoach and living on Lake Barkley, KY where family and friends visited often. They later moved to Lillian AL before moving to Colorado to be near their daughter. No services are planned, but the family will meet privately for a Celebration of Life this summer.
