May 17, 1946 – July 23, 2025
Donna was a near lifelong resident of Los Altos/Mountain View. She was a graduate of Los Altos High School in 1964 and attended classes at Foothill College. She worked for Hewlitt Packard, Stanford Linear Accelerator, and other south bay tech firms. She was good at math and enjoyed computer programming in her work career. What she really enjoyed was knitting, giving countless Christmas and Birthday presents from her own creations. For the past five years Donna lived in Texas close to her daughter, Victoria and her grandchildren Kyle and Sara. This was the joy of her later life. She was preceded in death by her parents Margaret and Clayton Holstine of Los Altos and sister Sharon of Los Altos. She is survived by her brother Clayton and sister in-law Cristina of Los Altos and niece Michelle in Indiana, Kaitlyn in San Francisco and nephew Jimmy in Georgia. She will be missed for her engaging smile and sense of fun at numerous family get-togethers. Services were held in Texas.
