She was raised and educated in Muskegon where she attended Oakridge High School and graduated with the class of 1972. Following high school, Donna attended Muskegon Community College for one year before health issues forced her to quit. Donna met and later married Allen Pepping in the summer of 1973 and to this union a daughter was born. This marriage later ended in divorce. In 1976, Donna moved to Glendive where she has resided since. She met and later married Roger Williamson in 1979 in Glendive. As a couple they purchased the Uptown Motel which they owned and operated together until 1980 when Roger passed away from cancer. Donna continued to run the Uptown Motel for over twenty years. Donna met Jerry Nagle and they were united in marriage on the Nagle Family Farm in Lindsay, Montana on October 16, 1982. They have shared a life together for thirty years. During this time, Donna worked for Dr. Zurroff’s office for several years (something she really enjoyed) before she and Jerry started N & K Trucking in 1992. Donna was very active in their trucking business; being the business manager and driving truck. Over the last several years Donna also enjoyed farming and ranching near Lindsay. Donna served on the Badland’s Federal Credit Union Loan Committee for many years. She was also very active in Our Savior Lutheran Church which was a big part of her life as she had a very strong faith; she enjoyed raising flowers and canning fruit and vegetables from her garden, she was a marvelous cook something she learned from her mother-in-law, Helen. In Donna’s early years she enjoyed bowling and cross stitching. Being a part of her family’s lives was something she loved and cherished. Getting to attend her grandchildren’s sporting events was a big passion of hers. Donna and Jerry traveled to various rodeos something they enjoyed doing together, especially the Pocatello, Idaho Circuit Finals Rodeo and National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada. Donna was a very loving and nurturing person. She volunteered to be a caregiver to her father-in-law, Bud during his battle with cancer. Donna understood the need for help as she was a breast cancer survivor herself.
