Donna H. (Hodgman) Howieson
Howieson (Hodgman), Donna H. 73 of Crystal passed away peacefully Jan. 14th, 2016 with her family at her side. Survived by her daughter Jennifer (Jason) Lenz and son Eric Howieson; grandchildren Hunter and Peyton Lenz and Courtney Howieson; brothers Frank (Sharon) and Don (Elaine) Hodgman; and her very special friend Bud Woolston. Raised on a farm in Claremont, MN, Donna learned the joy of singing for her ever present audience of cows. She moved to the cities in the early ’60s where she gained the cherished nickname “Auntie Donna from the Twin Cities” from her loving family. Donna, ever the conversationalist, made many great friends in the neighborhood and at Modern Tool Inc. where she worked for over 30 years. In her free time, Donna loved expressing her artistic side creating heart warming scrap books chronicling the lives of her children. A special heart felt thank you to the nurses at Hillcrest of Wayzata for your loving care. Please join us for a celebration of life to be held at the Hubbell House at 502 North Main St., Mantorville, MN between 11:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on Saturday Jan. 23, 2016.
