Donna Tindall; fabulous, caring, loving, beautiful, Godly, gracious, amazing, a true friend, multi-talented, sweet, generous and kind are words to describe the incredible woman we were blessed to know. In her final days, grace and grit were her trademark.
Donna Tindall, 73, passed away January 16, 2021. She was born on July 12, 1947 to Billie Marie Guestinger and John F. Svoboda in Yoakum, TX. She was raised in Victoria, TX where she graduated from Nazareth Academy in 1965 and attended Victoria College.
Donna married her husband, Gary Tindall, of 54 years, on January 20, 1967. She was employed at Frost Bank as an Administrative Officer before becoming self-employed and opened Personally Yours Florist. Donna was co-founder of the St. Pius X Women’s Circle, a member of the Bishop’s Guild, Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem, an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, St. Pius X Bell Choir, and countless other community and civic organizations.
Donna was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and cousin. She will always be remembered for her devotion to family, faith, and friends, and her beautiful smile. In addition to her very strong Catholic faith, Donna loved to spend time with her five grandchildren, going to the ranch in Yoakum and visiting her cousins. Her true talent lied in arranging the most beautiful flowers; whether it be for a wedding or her church, you would always be able to identify her unique design. Undoubtedly, she is arranging flowers up in Heaven.
