Donna Ann Gilchrist, 61, formerly of St. Peters, Missouri, passed away April 23 at Edencrest at Riverwoods in Des Moines, Iowa, after a long and courageous fight with ovarian cancer.

Donna was born in Ames, Iowa, to Donald and Angelyn (Braland) Gilchrist. She graduated from Ames High School in 1973 and received a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education / Library Science from Northwest Missouri State University in 1983. She touched many lives through her career as a school librarian with the Colo-Nesco school district from 1983-2002 and in the University City, Missouri school district from 2002-2014. She was a member of the DAR and enjoyed spending free time researching family history and sharing her discoveries with cousins.

Donna was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by numerous friends and relatives who will remember her for her love of all things Norwegian, her strong spirit, and her wonderful sense of humor. Cremation has been performed and a memorial with family and friends will be held in August. Burial will be at the Ontario Cemetery in Ames.
