• Donna June (D.J.) Conn, August 23, 1930 - November 17, 2024 •
On Sunday, November 17th, 2024, Garden City said goodbye to its brightest supporter, Donna (DJ) Conn. Donna was Garden City's biggest advocate, ambassador, and historian. Donna and Harold moved to the Village of Garden City in 1957. Since becoming a resident, she had her hand in most of Garden City's development. She was a reporter and editor of Garden City's first newspapers, Garden City Gazette, and Garden City Rocket. She played an integral part in City Council, Planning & Zoning, naming Chinden Blvd., creating the first Garden City Library, Chamber of Commerce, Election Judge, and supporting local businesses and residents' needs. In 1990 Donna authored and published Garden City History – 1990 Volume One. If you ever had a question regarding Garden City or metal detecting, Donna was your first stop. The world was lucky enough to have her for 94 years, and Garden City for 76 of those years. She was genuinely caring, hard-working, with a great sense of humor, and played a mean harmonica. She will be greatly missed and remembered lovingly.
Donna's Celebration of Life will be held December 7th at 4:00 PM at the Whitney Friends Church in Boise. If you would like to leave a remembrance, please go to one of the following websites:
