DONNA LEE LANDRETH

Donna Lee Landreth, 92, of Springfield passed away on April 24, at Cox South Hospital. She was born on April 16, 1931, in Warrensburg.
She was united in marriage to Edward Lee Landreth on June 14, 1952, in Harrison, Ark. The couple shared 70 wonderful years of marriage and had three loving daughters: Vicki, Susan and Linda.
Landreth’s life centered around her husband and children. She took considerable pride in being a housewife and mother. Early in her marriage, she worked at Cox North Hospital as an EKG technician. Her career was short lived, however, given her real desire to become a full-time homemaker.
For more than 60 years, Donna and Lee were active members of the Pleasant Valley Church. More recently, they started attending the Sac River Cowboy Church in Springfield.
Landreth was preceded in death by her mother Kathryn Falwell; stepfather, H. E. Falwell; sisters Betty Weatherford and Jeannie Langdon.
She is survived by her husband Lee Landreth; daughter Vicki Landreth; daughter Susan Grantham and husband, Tom; daughter Linda Bachman and husband Joe; sister Susan Anderson; five grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; and a host of extended family and friends.
