Dona Lee Conner, 66, died Tuesday, Nov. 30, 2004, at her home in Durham, N.C.,
after a long battle with ovarian cancer.

She was born in Princeton, W.Va., to the late Fred A. and Marjorie M. Miller

She was a member of the Westminster Presbyterian Church for many years. After
her retirement from Duke Power in 1995, she enjoyed playing golf with the
Croasdaile Ladies Golf Association.

Survivors include her loving husband of 39 years, C.V. Conner of Durham, N.C.;
sister and brother-in-law, Louise and Leo Matson of Princeton, W.Va.; brother
and sister-in-law, Ronald E. and Carol Lyn Thomason of Marion; and five nephews
and seven grand nieces, whom she loved as though they were her own.

Graveside services were held Friday morning, Dec. 3, 2004, in Maplewood
Cemetery. A memorial service followed in Westminster Presbyterian Church with
the Rev. Haywood Holderness and Betty Berghaus presiding.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in Conner’s memory may be made to the GYN
