St. George, Utah – Donna Deone Poulsen Maxwell passed away September 21, 2020. She was born on September 7, 1943 to Alden and Agnes Lloyd Poulsen at their family farm in Rigby, Idaho. She married James B Maxwell for time and all eternity in the Idaho Falls Temple on July 10, 1963. Following the wedding, they settled in Carmel By-The-Sea, California.

In 1983 JB and Donna moved their family to St. George, UT to open Maxwell's Hallmark. When they closed the Hallmark store in June of 2009, Donna worked at the Village Bank, main branch, until she retired. She enjoyed volunteering with the Huntsman Senior Games for 15 years and the St. George Marathon for over 25 years. She served in all auxiliaries in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints though her favorite calling was to teach in Relief Society. Continuing in her desire to serve, she and JB served a local mission at the St. George, UT Bishop's Storehouse 2018-2019.

Donna's love for her family and serving others was an example to all around her. She believed it was "nice to be important, but more important to be nice" and lived that every day of her life. She especially loved cooking and having friends and family gather at her home for food and games.

Donna was preceded in death by her parents, Alden and Agnes Poulsen; brother, Lloyd Poulsen; sister, Delores Poulsen (died as an infant); and son, Garry Troy Maxwell, as well as other beloved extended family and friends.
