Donna Dee was born on January 18, 1941 in Prairie County, Montana, to Rudolf and Leafie Ulrich, who were lifelong farmers and ranchers. Donna was the third of their five children. To the surprise of her parents and the doctor, Donna was immediately followed by her twin brother Donald. She attended school in Terry and later moved to Billings, where she worked in the new Sears store and met Wyman, the man she would marry in 1961. Wyman’s work with the Bureau of Indian Affairs took them from one coast to the other and many places in between. This broadened Donna’s horizons and turned her into a proud and lifelong liberal, which she wanted to be highlighted in her obituary.
