Donna Lynn Livingston, a longtime resident of the Cortez area, recently passed away at the home of her son and his family in Gypsum, Colorado on August 30, 2022. Donna was born in Denver, Colorado to Martin and Eleanor Dale on May 20, 1946. She married Mickey (Dewitt) Livingston on November 1, 1964, in Cortez, Colorado. They farmed pinto beans, wheat, and barley north of Cortez for twenty years. They then moved to southern California where Donna worked for a financial company and Mickey worked for Coca-Cola. Donna and Mickey lived for a few years in Phoenix and later returned to Colorado.
