La Grange, California - Donnis (Donna) June Sallee, 85, passed away at home in California on August 03,

2023, surrounded by her loving family. She was born May 30, 1938, in Sarcoxie,

Missouri, to Edna Ogle. She graduated from Diamond High School. She married Olen

Sallee on August 19, 1955, at Diamond Christian Church in Missouri, and they were

married for 65 years. They owned a Phillips 76 gas station in Carthage, Missouri, and

lived in Diamond. The family relocated to California in 1970 for career opportunities.

Donnis worked at various electronic companies. Her passion was her garden but also

enjoyed raising Ostriches, Emus, rabbits, and award-winning Pot-bellied pigs. She

always enjoyed watching her boys and grandchildren play sports. Her favorite two MLB

teams were the Oakland A's and St. Louis Cardinals. She loved hosting the family for

BBQ's, birthdays, and holidays. Though she may no longer be with us in person, her

spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those she loved and who loved her in return.
