Ladonna J. Lockwood Obituary (1939

LaDonna Lockwood, 80, of Des Moines, Iowa, passed away March 16, 2020, with family by her side. She was born to the late Ray and Hazel Youngstrom, June 7, 1939, in Armour, South Dakota. LaDonna graduated from Armour High School in 1957. She was dedicated and hard-working but also enjoyed music (both playing the piano and singing) and socializing including bowling, dancing, camping, and playing cards. LaDonna had several opportunities to play piano for the governor at his mansion events. She retained her enjoyment of sharing her stories and music to the end welcoming family, friends, and even the hospice workers into her room like a social call. LaDonna is survived by her beloved sister Dorothy Vosberg, and brothers Loren Youngstrom and Clarence Vosberg; three daughters (Carla Dougherty, Barbara Hartman, and Lori Cigic); four grandchildren (Ryan Dougherty, Aaron Dougherty, Nicole Gibbons, and Zayn Cigic); two great-grandchildren; and her special puppy. She is preceded in death by her parents and brother, Laurence Vosberg. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to Lori Cigic, 812 NW Boulder Brook Dr, Ankeny, Iowa, 50023, and a charity will be established by the family at a later date.
