Marion McDonald Obituary
Marion, daughter of the late Roman Brinker and wife Isabel, nee Elbert, was born April 10, 1932, in Washington. She received her education from St. Francis Borgia High School. On Feb. 14, 1952, she was united in marriage to James McDonald at St. Francis Borgia Church.
Her greatest joy was being a wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Christmas was her favorite holiday, and she occupied much of her time planning for the big party every year, making ornaments and decorating gift bags for each and every person.
Among her survivors are her children, Mike McDonald and wife Theresa, Kathleen Alferman, Bryan McDonald and wife Lisa, all of Washington, and Molly Lynchard and husband Tim, Villa Ridge; 14 grandchildren; 26 great-grandchildren; in-laws, Marie Hillermann, Mary Jo McDonald and Roberta Brinker; other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband James "Mac" McDonald; two children, Todd McDonald and Maureen Michels; her parents; and three siblings, Leroy Brinker, Esther Jansen and Shirley Holtmeyer.
Visitation will be held Wednesday, April 20, from 4-7 p.m. at Nieburg-Vitt, Miller Funeral Home, Washington.
A memorial Mass will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday, April 21, at St. Francis Borgia Church.
Memorial donations can be made to St. Francis Borgia Grade School or St. Francis Borgia High School.
