Donna Lucille Adams Brandenberg, 64, of Lexington, died Sunday, July 16, 1995 following a brief illness.

Donna was born June 27, 1931 at Moline, KS, to James H. and Alice (Anderson) Adams.

She graduated from Lexington High School in 1949 and Married Kenneth A. Brandenberg on June 17, 1952 at Kearney, NE.

She was a member of the First Christian Church in Lexington, the Lexington Genealogy Club and the V.F.W. Auxilliary. She had just retired from working 20 years for the Lexington Public Library. Donna loved to bowl on her bowling team and had her best year prior to her cancer diagnosis. She loved spending time with her family and especially with her grandchildren. To say she like reading is an understatement as she devoured her romance novels like no one else. Her hands were never idle and her friends and family were recipients of embroidered pillow cases and tea towels. She and Kenny loved their time together, taking rides in the countryside to visit friends and family, parking near a sandpit or canal and throwing in a fishing line.

Survivors include her husband Kenneth of Lexington; her mother Alice Adams of Lexington; two daughters, Brenda L. Buchholz (John) of Overton and L. Corrine "Corky" (Scott) Anderson of Lexington; one son George "Bud" Brandenberg of Cozad; four brothers, Bill (Rita) Adams of Overton, Bud (Ellen) Adams of Winfield, KS, Harold (Carol) Adams of Lexington and Larry (Stacy) Adams of Virginia Beach, VA; one sister, Jan Dorner of Omaha; grandchildren Sara and Christopher Buchholz and Lindsey Anderson and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her father, one daughter, Debra Lynette and two sisters, Zeila and Marsha Lynn.

Services will be held Thursday, July 20, 1995, at 10 a.m. at the First Christian Church in Lexington with the Rev. Kenneth Fairbrother officiating.

Burial will be in the Robb Cemetery south of Lexington.

Memorials are suggested to the Library Large Print Book Program at the public library or the American Cancer Society.

Reynolds-Love Funeral Home in Lexington is in charge of the arrangements.
