Donna Mae Parker

1956 – 2025

Donna Mae Parker passed away peacefully at her home in Fort Worth, Texas, on October 18, 2025, at the age of 69.

Donna was born and raised in Reno, Nevada, before later making her home in Mountain Home, Idaho, where she married the love of her life, Kevin Parker. Together, they shared 28 wonderful years of marriage filled with laughter, adventure, and love.

Donna had a warm and generous spirit. She found joy in cooking and baking for those she loved and was especially proud of her skills on the Traeger smoker, where she loved perfecting recipes to share with family and friends. She could often be found with a good book in hand and her beloved dogs, Onzi and Kizzy, by her side. Her kindness and nurturing heart touched everyone who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Eva Mae G. Smiley and Donald Paul Smiley, and her adoptive parent Jack Mowbray.

Donna is survived by her devoted husband Kevin Parker; daughter Diana Burch (Anthony); son David Comstock (Tracy); and grandchildren Alexander, Andrew, and Matthew. She is also survived by Courtney Dack (Dan), whom she loved like a daughter, and their children Eric, Mason, Maddox, Coen, and Harper, who lovingly called her Nani.

She is also survived by her beloved aunt Torchy Fillman, adoptive parent Doris Cozzalio, and numerous cousins in who were always close to her heart.

Donna will be remembered for her warmth, humor, and the love she shared so freely with her family and friends. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Services will be held in the spring.
