Donald W. Felthauser, passed away on April 14, 2016. He was born on December 11, 1929, in Nebraska. He married the love of his life on July 20, 1950, in Olympia, Washington. Donald and Gloria were married 63 wonderful years before she preceded him in death. Together they had six children, leaving them a legacy of love, honor and memories.
