Donna Whissel Obituary
Jul 10, 2024
Died on July 10, 2024 after a prolonged illness. Donna found her greatest purpose caring for others as a wife, mom, step-mom, sister, aunt, friend, and nurse. She delighted in spending time with loved ones, reading, babysitting, watching football, and operating her "card ministry," as her husband dubbed it. Donna was predeceased by her father, Charles, mother, Oma Jean, and nephew, Tyler. She is survived by her husband of 42 years, Dan, son, Paul (Erin), daughter, Lindsey, step-daughters Jennifer (Louis), Betsy (Michael), and Amybeth (Anthony), and step-son, Matthew, as well as grandchildren, siblings, nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the MPN Research Foundation in her memory. A small, private gathering to celebrate Donna's life will be held at a later date. Online condolences may be placed at www.TheDietrichFuneralHome.com.
