RAPID CITY--Donna Lee Koenig died at home surrounded by her three sons on Friday, January 31, 2014. She was born in Quinn, SD on August 17, 1936 to Allen and Violet Anderson. She started school in Quinn and later moved to Telluride, CO and finally to Rapid City where she lived the majority of her life. She graduated from Rapid City High School and attended Black Hills State College. She became a teacher, first in Quinn, then Sturgis, and Meadowbrook School. She met Robert Koenig while he was attending SD School of Mines and working part time at Skarty Oil Company, where her dad, Allen, also worked. Bob was the attendant when Donna had her car serviced. Bob eventually asked Donna's Dad for permission to take her for a date. Dad's response was "Yes, only if you are good to her". They married on June 18, 1961 and Bob kept that promise during their 50 year marriage until his death on March 20, 2012. Donna will be remembered for her strength, her kindness, her soft spoken gentle ways, her graciousness and her strong love of family. She was very proud of her three sons and enjoyed a very special bond with her sisters. We will all miss her terribly. Donna had a wide variety of interests including music, pens, clocks and the family vehicles. She did the research before every purchase. Donna is survived by her sons: Bob Koenig and his wife, Amy; Jim Koenig and his wife, Jennifer and Scott Koenig and his wife, Tara; three grandchildren, Jackson, Katherine, and Mason; two sisters, Sharon Johnson (Dennis) and Judy Thompson (Richard), sister in law, Muriel Anderson, numerous nephews and nieces. She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, one brother, Craig Anderson and a nephew Kevin Thompson. Visitation will be from 5 until 7 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 3, at Osheim & Schmidt Funeral Home. The funeral service will be at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 4, at South Canyon Lutheran Church (44th & Brookside) with the Rev. Margie Hershey officiating. Burial will be in Black Hills National Cemetery near Sturgis. Memorials gifts may be directed to Make-A-Wish Foundation.
