Donna Ruth (Pickel) Green peacefully entered into eternal rest with our Heavenly Father on July 23, 2024, surrounded by her loving family in San Angelo, TX. Born on March 29, 1946, in El Reno, OK, Donna was the cherished daughter of Don and Ruth Pickel.
Donna is survived by her devoted husband of 40 years, JM Green. Their journey together took them from California (1984-2009) to Panama (2009-2014), back to California (2014-2019), and finally to Texas in April 2019. She is also survived by her son Thurman Ragsdale and his wife Vicky of San Angelo, TX; daughter Sarah Blanco and her husband Fernando of San Jose, CA; stepson Tucker Green and his wife Laura of Portland, OR; stepdaughter Tristin Green and her husband Mark of Mill Valley, CA; grandsons Reece Carter and Avery Fischbach; great-granddaughter Mia Carter; and brother Wilbur Pickel of Pasco, WA.
A talented artist, Donna's creativity knew no bounds. She excelled in painting, sculpting, and crafting, and her impeccable eye for interior design could rival that of Martha Stewart. Donna also had a green thumb, cultivating breathtaking gardens wherever she lived.
A savvy entrepreneur, Donna made significant strides in the title insurance industry, culminating in her role as County Manager and Senior Vice President for Old Republic Title.
Donna was preceded in death by her parents, Don and Ruth Pickel, and her brother Hubert Pickel.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Harper Funeral Home in San Angelo, TX, on Friday, July 26, 2024, at 2:00 pm. Donna's vibrant spirit, artistic talent, and unwavering love for her family will be dearly missed and forever cherished.
