She then enlisted into the Navy, where she served our country as a distribution clerk. After returning to Globe from the Navy, she fell in love and married George Blevins Sr. in 1960.

She will be remembered by many as she served her community and church for years as a CASA volunteer, a member of the Gila Literacy Program Board of Directors, Boy Scout leader and in many other facets. She retired from the UofA Cooperative Extension Office with the State of Arizona. Her love for travel took her across the world. Donna’s talents included quilting, sewing, gardening, canning and genealogy. Donna always loved sharing her childhood memories of growing up in the Verde Valley, and how much she missed her dad. She also had a love for pets and animals.
