Andress, Donna, 1925-
Donna Hanley Andress arrived in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the early 1930s with her mother Clarabelle Decker who taught at the Las Vegas Grammar School. In 1944 she married Clyde Gail Andress and, except for relocations due to military service in World War Two, remained an active citizen of Las Vegas until retiring to Nelson, Nevada, in 1987. Donna volunteered to serve in a number of community organizations, principally the Service League, the forerunner of the Junior League of Las Vegas.
