Randie Sue Donnell

August 1, 1948 — January 12, 2026

Pocatello

Randie Sue Donnell, 77, passed away unexpectedly on January 12, 2026 in her home.

She was born in Clearfield, Pennsylvania on August 1, 1948.  She met the love of her life, Elbert Donnell, whom she married on July 21, 2005. Together, they built a wonderful life, blending their families.

She was a truly giving and kind soul whose life was defined by love, generosity, and selflessness.  She was always there; physically present, emotionally supportive, and mentally engaged for anyone who needed her.  She lived not for herself, but for others, and her legacy is one of strength, empathy, and unconditional love.  Though she will be deeply missed, the impact she made and the love she shared will live in the hearts of everyone she touched.

She is survived by her loving faithful companion, Elbert Donnell, her children, Pamela Tew (Eric), Linda Iremirem, Renee Naylor (Terry), Ash Talbot, Shannon Ferrin (John), Shawn Grunig, Stephen Grunig, 40 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren, and her sister, Barbara Corman.

She is preceded in death by her father, Hiram Welker and mother, Geraldine Welker.

A graveside service will be held at 1:00 pm on Thursday, January 22, 2026 at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery, 2651 Cromwell Lane, Blackfoot, Idaho.
