Donna Moldenhauer Obituary

Berlin - Donna Jean Moldenhauer, age 84, of Berlin, died peacefully on Sunday, August 4, 2019, at Patriot Place in Berlin.

She was born January 17, 1935, in Waushara County, the daughter of James "Homer" and Lenore Robinson Posorske. Donna was a 1953 graduate of Berlin High School. On October 4, 1958, she was united in marriage to William "Bill" Moldenhauer at Berlin Baptist Church.

Donna worked for W.P.L. for 37 ½ years. She enjoyed being involved in the community and made wonderful friends through organizations such as Ladies Aid, the Poy Sippi Petal Pushers Garden Club, EAA and HCE. This time of year was special for Donna as she would show her home-grown flowers at the Green Lake County Fair. She and Bill enjoyed spending time together traveling to special places like Sweden, Egypt and the Holy Land. One of Donna's hobbies was genealogy. She found uncovering history fascinating and enjoyed sharing the stories with others. Donna was past president on Berlin Alumni Association Board, prom queen in high school, and was a member of St. John Lutheran Church in Berlin.
