January 21, 1946 — May 22, 2019

Donna Ione Becker, 73 of rural Mabel, died Wednesday, May 22, 2019 at Mayo Clinic Hospital - St. Mary's Campus.
Donna was born January 21, 1946 in Devils Lake, ND to Walter and Ione (Osland) Youngmark. On January 29, 1962, she married the love of her life, David Becker. She worked at About the Horse in Spring Grove for many years and ran the Semcac Dining site in Houston. Donna was a member of the Houston Baptist Church.
She was very talented musically and her and Dave had their own band - first they were called Ridin' High and eventually became known as Rush Creek Junction. Donna was happiest when she was outdoors - hunting for morels, agates, ginseng, arrowheads, whatever could be found. She also enjoyed watching the birds and the peace and tranquility that nature brought. Her family meant the world to her and she treasured times spent with them. In the words of her granddaughter - "she was a woman of sweet simplicity, always putting others first and following the teachings of Christ. A vibrant soul with a passion for music and family."
