Mondragon, Donna MarieDonna Marie Mondragon, 61, a loving wife, mother, grandmother, grandaunt, aunt, sister, and daughter was promoted to glory on September 24, 2016. She was born on February 4, 1955 to Howard Storr and Felicitas Poploski in St. Louis, Missouri.
She was preceded in death by her father, Howard; and her father-in-law, Max Mondragon.
After graduating from Nerenix High School in St., Louis, she was awarded a scholarship to St. Louis University. While on a winter break to New Mexico, she immediately fell in love with the state and vowed never to leave. Donna Marie was employed with Rio Grande Travel for several years working as the Director of Operations, then the Director of Sales and Marketing managing the 32 existing offices in New Mexico and West Texas. She was also elected to the office of President of STAG; the Society of Travel Agents in Government. She often negotiated travel contracts with the Armed Services and the Pentagon.

She spent her time traveling with her husband and a herd of stuffed moose writing stories for children which will be published soon. An avid reader and a member of the Bernalillo Library board, she felt compelled to give back to the community.
