Donna M. Henninger, a beloved mother, cherished grandmother, sister, and friend to everyone, passed away in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin on Friday, October, 24, 2025 surrounded by family.
Donna was born in New York to Agnes and William on April 28th, 1961. Donna is survived by her son, Jason (Gina) and daughter, Christen as well as her four granddaughters, April, Abby, Melva and Maddy. She is also survived by her sister, Jeanne Bergamine and brothers, William and Lewis Henninger; and further survived by other relatives and friends.
To know Donna, you had no choice but to love her. Donna was always there for anyone who may need a helping hand, a shoulder to lean on or an ear to listen. She accepted everyone with open arms. Through all the love, you always had to watch out for whatever may have come out of her mouth next. At no point did she ever hold back from saying what came to mind, no matter who was around. She loved keeping people on their toes.
Through her life she overcame so many obstacles that others would have just given up. During it all she always found ways to help and care for others in need. Her resilience and fight was truly an inspiration to family, friends and even strangers.
If you know Donna, she would not want this to be goodbye, but a celebration of her life and upcoming journey as the Privileged Princess she always said she was coming back as.
The Celebration of Life for Donna will take place on Saturday, November 15, 2025 at the Werner Harmsen Event Center from 3:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations to help cover funeral expenses would be greatly appreciated by the family.
