Donna Sexton, former Corpus Christi School teacher, dies at age 95

COLORADO SPRINGS. Donna Sexton, a longtime Corpus Christi parishioner and teacher, died March 3 at age 95.

Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated March 17 at Corpus Christi.

She was born April 11, 1927, on a farm near Solomon, Kansas, one of five children born to Prosper and Ellen Lahey. Among her siblings was a twin brother, Don.

She attended Marymount Women’s College in Salina, Kansas, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in English and drama. At a graduation party, she met her husband Marvin. They were married in Carmel, California, in December 1951, and Sexton began working as a teacher. The couple moved to Colorado Springs in 1957.

She was very involved at Corpus Christi Parish as a member of the school board, religious educator, Cub Scout den mother, and Extraordinary Ministery of Holy Communion. She acted and directed in plays and melodramas as well.
