Donna Lee Liscum was born December 18, 1934 in Fort Dodge, Iowa, the daughter of Wilbur and Leola Nissen. She grew up in Renwick, Iowa where she graduated high school and met her husband of 64 years, Larry.

Donna has many many friends, calling all of them family. She and Larry loved spending time at the family cabin on Lake Bertha. Donna was active with the American Baptist Women, and was a great woman of faith, singing the praises of her Lord up until her last breath. Donna always made sure that you were fed. Dishes like pot roast, pies, applesauce, macaroni and cheese, and sausage and gravy were some of her highlights.

Donna is survived by her husband of 64 years, Larry Liscum of Marion; son Curtis (Deborah) of Marion; Grandchildren Christopher (Jessica) Liscum of Hiawatha; Craig (Johanna) Liscum of Coggon; Tiffany (Matt) Kruthoff of Fort Dodge; and Courtney (Jessica) Lockner of Callender; and 10 great grandchildren David, Mary, Kacey, Aliyah, Peyton, Ryder, Caitlyn, Carson, Harper, and James. Also surviving is her brother Richard (Wanda) Nissen of Hutchinson, Kansas; son-in-law Mark Lockner of Fort Dodge; and many, many other relatives and friends that she considered family. She was preceded in death by her parents; and daughter, Christine.

The family would like to thank Crestview Acres and UnityPoint Hospice. Memorials may be directed to the family in memory of Donna.
