Donna Roberta Whitaker, age 75, passed away Thursday, November 19, 2009 at Hospice Compassus in Lakeside, Arizona. She was born on May 31, 1934 in Pasadena, California, the daughter of the late Roberta June Casperson. Donna's husband was her life and she enjoyed serving the needs of her family. She had a dog grooming business in California for 38 years before moving to Arizona 13 years ago. Donna always had a smile on her face and made others smile as well. She loved flowers, especially roses and was very proud of her lemon trees. This sweet lady also had a 1970 Cadillac sedan that she just loved to drive around town. She is survived by her husband, Robert; a son, Mark and her grandchildren. Private services are planned.
