Donna was born on April 2, 1942, in Memphis, TN, to
Robert D. McGregor and Margie L. Lyons. She attended grade school in Siletz,
OR, and graduated from high school in Portland, OR. In 1960, Donna moved from
Siletz to Caldwell to be with her father. While on a deer hunting trip in the
Owyhees with her family, Donna became acquainted with her future husband
Gaylord Coyle. They were married on Nov. 29, 1960 in Caldwell. Donna worked in
medical records at St. Al’s and Boise Samaritan Village. She was a member of
the Lutheran Brethren Church in Nampa, ID. She loved traveling in their R.V. to
the Oregon Coast, camping in the Sawtooth Mountains, and browsing around the
yearly Flea Market in Sumpter, OR, and was always looking for a bargain. Donna
loved life and her family always came first. No matter what problem or trouble
the family could count on Donna to listen and guide without judgment. She was a
hard working wife and mother, who always made sure her family was provided the
best possible life, both as children and adults.
Donna was preceded in death by her parents and her
half brother Billy Reeves.
