| June 2, 2016 9:00 PM

Susan Arlene Rehard-Donoian, 53, of Rathdrum, Idaho, passed on May 23, 2016. With this great loss, our world will seem a little less colorful and quiet. Susan was born on April 8, 1963, to Carrie J. Williamson and Billy D. Rehard in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

She grew up in Rathdrum, graduating in 1981, married Enoch (Brad) Donoian and then moved to Spokane. Susan helped with her husband’s drywalling business hanging drywall until the birth of her first of two sons. Susan played darts in KCDL, loved camping and music (going to any concert she possibly could) and especially attending all her son’s sporting activities and motorcycle races. She could also be heard at her nieces and nephews activities as well.

Susan’s life was focused on her boys and family. She leaves behind her sons, Daniel and Derek Donoian; three sisters Kim Saputski, Julie and Mista Rehard; one brother, Robert Meshew; special nieces Randi Holeck, Cammie Christiansen and Aime Duncan; nephew Jeremy Duncan; five great-nephews; three great-nieces; and parents Jody (Ed) Murray and Bill (Connie) Rehard. She was preceded in death by her husband, Brad; and her grandparents, Les and Bernice Williamson.

A celebration of life potluck will be held from 1-5 p.m. Saturday, June 4, 2016, at Majestic Park, 5750 Majestic Ave., Rathdrum.
