Donna Marie, the daughter of Matthew and Kathryn (Mans) Michels, was born on February 23, 1927 in Mankato. She attended school in Mankato and later graduated Mankato High School. Following high school, Donna worked at Green Giant in LeSueur for a brief time and later transferred to be a telephone operator for a firm in Minneapolis. On February 10, 1948, Donna was united in marriage to Marvin Dumdei in Nicollet. After their marriage, they lived in various places throughout the Northern Suburbs of Minneapolis and have resided in Waseca for the last twenty one years.
Donna loved to bake, often times giving her delicious banana bread or apple strudels to her family or friends. She particularly loved early rhubarb so she could make delicious muffins, sauce, and cakes. Donna was extra fond of the time she spent with all of her family and friends.
