Donna Gould Diffen, 86, of Kerrville, passed away on May 27, 2022 in Kerrville, Texas. She was born in Rock Springs, Wyoming to Emma and Donnell H. Gould on May 30, 1935.

Donna was raised in Juneau, Alaska, and then moved to Hawaii with her parents during her high school years. In Hawaii, she met and married Ray I.

He did several tours overseas while Donna raised three young children.

Donna and her children moved to Kerrville in 1975 to be close to her parents and she worked for Dr. Theodore R. Boyce for many years. She was an avid reader, knitter, and gifted piano player.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Emma and Donnell Gould.

Survivors include children, Mike and Kathy Diffen, Leslie and David Jones, Marta Diffen; her brother, Richard B. Gould; and grandchildren, Amy Jones, Emma Jones and Angela Diffen.

The family wishes to extend our sincere thanks to Peterson Hospice, eternal gratitude to Donna Alexander and Marty Russom.

I knew Donna from Dr Boyce’s office.
She turned out to be a good friend. So sorry to hear of her passing

I am so sorry to hear of Donna's passing. My prayers for all her family. I had a small shop on Earl Garrett and Donna worked for me part-time in the late 80's early 90's. She was a fun person.

So sorry for your loss. I met Donna when she worked for Dr. Boyce, he delivered my children. Then I saw her again when I worked for her neurologist. She was always a real kick to talk to. She will be missed.
