In Memory Of

Donna Canavan, Age 57, of Butte

December 21, 1962 – August 22, 2020

Donna Dee Langholf Rundell Canavan Barber died of natural causes on August 22, 2020, in Butte, Montana. She was born December 21, 1962, to Colleen Rae Ferguson and Dee Douglas Langholf in Boise, Idaho, and was primarily raised by her grandmother, Anna Langholf, in the Boise area.

During her adult life, Donna lived in several different parts of the country before settling in Butte. She enjoyed fishing, reading, and crafts, and doted on her dog, Puggy.

Donna was blessed with three children: Crystal, April and Kenny; and had a very close and loving relationship with her Idaho cousin, Dodie Drake.

Donna suffered from poor health for many years and was faithfully attended by the love of her life and husband, Frank Barber, who was by her side when she passed. A small private memorial service will be held later.
