Cassidy Kay Donaldson

Cassidy K. Donaldson, 40, of Moses Lake, WA passed away on May 4th, 2022 after a long struggle with severe depression. Cassidy was born in the summer of 1981 in Bremerton, Washington to June and Marven Simpson. After graduating from Olympic High School in Bremerton, she attended Brigham Young University-Idaho where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in English. Cassidy had a lifelong love of music and was a gifted vocalist. She has blessed countless people throughout her life with the gift of her angelic voice. As a college student and military spouse, Cassidy has lived in Idaho, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Minnesota, and Washington. An immensely friendly person, she has maintained close friendships with people across the country. After eight years in Minnesota, Cassidy moved to Moses Lake, WA in 2021. Cassidy always tried to find ways to help others. She volunteered at the Moses Lake Food Bank four days per week and organized food drives to help procure donations to feed those in need. She would never hesitate to give food or money to the homeless, always made sure the single mothers around her had a great mother’s day and supported charities across the globe with both her time and her money. Cassidy was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was always ready to serve others in any capacity she could. Cassidy is survived by her husband of twenty years, Michael Donaldson, and their four daughters, Dashle Brown (Talon Brown), Quinn Kania (Ben Kania), Emry Donaldson, and Tave Donaldson. Cassidy was a generous and loving person who struggled with complex health issues throughout her life. She was loved by many, and will be deeply missed. In many ways her life was tragic and leaves those closest to her wondering what she could have accomplished had her health challenges been lessened, especially in light of what she was able to accomplish with her limitations. There will be a Visitation on Thursday, May 26th from 12:00 until 5:00pm at Kayser Funeral home. The Funeral will be on May 27th at 2:00pm at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints building at 1849 Nelson RD NE, Moses Lake, WA.
