♫ Donna Sipp ♫ Lyrics by Mrs. Varvel

Donna Sipp was born right here,

quite a gal let’s make that clear!

She’s a Grandma, mom and business woman too!

How you did it all we don’t have a clue.

Donna went to Hay Springs Schools-

Where she honed her business tools

Then she went to work at Stiele Department Store

Clerking, stocking and much more.

Chicken Roost, Dancing Late-

She met George her future mate

So she moved to the farm and learned to milk a cow-

Also learned to cook fine chow!

Mom to Marty and Judy Sipp, Donna’s life was quite a trip!

As a Bank Director, School Board member too

Is there anything she didn’t do?

Donna Sipp, We must say you’re amazing still today

She is a grandma mom and business woman too

How you did it all we don’t have a clue.

♫ Don Peters ♫ Lyrics by Mrs. Varvel

Don, Don Peters

Had to ride his horse

In the blizzard

It was cold of course.

Don created a romance

When he met Donna at a dance

Don learned much while on the farm

Where he built a piggie barn.

Don, Don Peters

Worked very hard

When he wasn’t working

You could find him playing cards.

Don was a sailor

And a carpenter they say

He valued education

And he worked hard everyday.

So we honor Don you see.

To thank him for his service

To our community.
