It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Donna Ong Trumbo, founding member of AAPI Placer County.

Donna brought light and love to everyone who knew her. Her kindness, strength, and unwavering support will be remembered by her family, friends, and all those whose lives were touched by her.

She is survived by her husband Joel of 39 years, two sons, and five grandchildren.

Joel writes, “Donna accomplished so much during her life. Early in her professional career, she was a television reporter and anchorwoman. In later years, she was a pastor working primarily on social issues, a racial equity and diversity consultant, and a community activist. She was a fierce warrior when it came to racial equity and a devoted supporter of the LGBTQ community. She was also a great cook, life-long learner, and so much fun.

Please keep Donna’s family in your thoughts during this difficult time. We invite those who knew Donna to share their memories and celebrate her life via email at info@aapiplacercounty.org.
