Donna Bell Westering
Donna Belle
Donna Belle lived life proclaiming "Cast your bread upon the waters and it will come back with strawberry jam," always believing that The Lord would bless those who put their faith in Him! One of the most powerful things reflected in her life was the humble, strong, sensitive, serving, loving and loyal partnership she shared with her late husband Frosty. Frosty was the leader, but Donna was the one who impacted him.
Married in 1951, Donna with Frosty began a trek that would span over 50 years, deeply touching multiple communities through the vehicle of coaching football and their very presence of positively impacting anyone they came in contact with. She could be considered as much of a head coach as Frosty, giving birth to five children from 1952-1960 while also beginning her famous service of baking "Donna's Goodies" for every team he coached. Her life exemplified a servant, filled with a passion to surrender herself to whatever the call was on her life.
Most importantly, Donna's call was to share the love of The Lord while praying for the multitudes. If she said she was praying for you, SHE WAS PRAYING FOR YOU! Her wit exceeded most with her ability to make one laugh, and her charm was like no other. Donna was instrumental in building the spiritual foundation in the Westering home. Her love for the Word of God throughout her life and her commitment to Bible Study Fellowship would engage her in conversations about "the joy of the Lord being her strength" and to "mount up with wings like eagles, to run and not be weary, to walk and not be faint." She knew almost as much about football as Frosty, yet would never suggest she should be on the sidelines due to the fact that she was always the loudest voice in the stands ringing her cheer cowbell! It is rare that the spouse of someone well known is equally as well known. Donna was...due to the impact she had on thousands of peoples' lives. The phrase, "Make The Big Time Where You Are" is the statement of a collaborative passion and focus on life lived out by Donna and Frosty. Donna Belle Westering lived life singing, shouting, and dancing from the mountain tops that Jesus is Lord! There is a powerful thought in knowing that the Bible states "We are fearfully and wonderfully made." And then to witness that Donna is proof of that very statement gives us ALL cause to say AMEN! https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/tribnet/name/donna-westering-obituary?id=20911584
