Donna Kay ‘DK’ Peterson, 47, recently of Lynnwood, died peacefully on Nov. 29, 2012. Donna was born Nov. 20, 1965 in Everett. She graduated from South Whidbey High School where she was involved in the band and choir programs. She also was a member of the Rainbow Girls and St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Clinton. She attended Edmonds Community College to carry on her music career, but her hearing disability prevented her from continuing.
