Donna was born October 6, 1930, to Albert and Clara Christensen.

She joined the Larsh family which included the only mom and dad she ever knew, and a big brother, Oliver Larsh.

Donna graduated from Winner High School in 1949, and married Andrew Dice on April 2, 1950. Together they raised four children on the family farm northwest of Winner, SD. Donna worked beside Andy on the farm, keeping busy cooking meals, baking caramel rolls, driving tractor, and doing any other chores that needed to be done. She also had many jobs in Winner. She managed the Outlaw Café, enjoying the girls she worked with and her many customers. Her last job was department head of laundry at Winner Regional Healthcare.

Andy and Donna moved to Winner after their children were grown and enjoyed the social side of town life. You could always find them at one of the local restaurants enjoying a meal with friends, followed by a game of cards at their house.
