Donna M. Schechtman, 81, of Manchester, Iowa, died at the Good Neighbor Home in Manchester on Thursday, November 26, 2009. She was born and reared on her parents’ farm east of Manchester. Donna attended a rural school near her home for the first eight years, and then attended Manchester High School and graduated in 1946.
After graduation, Donna worked six years at the Farmers & Merchants Bank, 12 years for Iowa Electric Company, and 22 years at the First State Bank, all in Manchester. She retired in 1988 and continued to live on the farm east of Manchester.
Donna enjoyed reading, gardening, walking, and taking care of her pets. Donna was on several women’s bowling teams for about 25 years, and enjoyed going to the state tournaments. Her “very, very lucky” (She says) high score of 268 stood as the high ladies game at Manchester for several years.
Donna was preceded in death by her parents; and one sister, Jean Marie Schechtman.
