Donna's obituary
Born November 16, 1959, in St. Louis, to the late Donald Paul Austin and Evelyn Jean Myers, she lived in St. Louis most of her life. She worked as a stunt coordinator for several years in Egypt then moved to St. Louis, Missouri, where she then became a mother and Office Manager for a graphics design company. Donna was a loving mother of two kick ass children. She was a member of Joel Osteen’s Snake Handler Church.
Donna is survived by her children, Joshua Steven Tiff, and his wife Jaime Tiff, of the great town of Eureka, and Shanna Marie Rudolph, and her husband Anthony Rudolph of the not as great town of Valley Park; her grandchildren, Tehya, Hannah, Lincoln, Lucky, Anthony Jr, Camden and Jacob. She was also survived by her siblings James Austin, Patrick Austin, Colleen Daniel, John Austin, Margaret Austin and Charles Austin.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Donald and Evelyn Jean Austin; her brothers Kevin Austin, and Kip Austin, who unfortunately lived in the attic most of his life, but eventually found peace before his passing.
Donna was a voracious handball player that toured most of the Western Hemisphere, all while keeping a personal secret that she had a wooden prosthetic leg for 43 years. The doctors were able to discover this secret by cutting the leg open postmortem and counting the rings. She was also an avid X-Games fan, until they “got too commercial.” She will be loved and missed.
