DONNA VAN BLARICOM

On the day her light shined bright in heaven, Pastor Danny Cary provided a touching, intimate in-home service for her Iowa family.

Donna was born on September 8, 1956, in Fairfield, IA, to Merlin "Charlie" and Peggy SHIRKEY ELDER. She grew up outside of Fairfield. Donna had a passion for chocolate covered coffee beans, the ocean, while in Florida, boating, water skiing, parasailing, and good times on the river in Iowa. She also loved the splendor of the fireworks and celebrations on the Foruth of July.

Donna graduated from Fairfield High School with the class of 1974. She worked at Rockwell-Arvin Meritor in Fairfield until its closing. She then moved to Florida to enjoy the warm weather. There she shared many wonderful friends at the Home Depot.
