Donna Mau Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 21, 2024.
Donna Josephine Mau, aged 94, passed away on September 16, 2024, in Hobe Sound, FL. Born on July 13, 1930, Donna led a life marked by vigor, dedication, and a profound commitment to her family and community.

Throughout her life, Donna was known for her energetic and hardworking nature, always finding joy in the company of others. She was a beloved wife, mother, and friend, deeply cherished by all who knew her. Donna's professional life was spent in the realms of oil and gas exploration and real estate, where she applied her robust work ethic and pioneering spirit.

A devout founding member of the Holy Spirit Lutheran Church, Donna actively participated in her church's activities and initiatives. Her faith and dedication to her church were profound and unwavering.

In her leisure time, Donna enjoyed golf, bowling, and oil painting, each hobby a testament to her lively spirit and her love for life's diverse experiences.

Donna was preceded in death by her loving husband, James A. Mau, and her son, David Robbins, as well as her parents, Lillian and Arthur Mau. She is survived by her daughter, Diane Coakley of Hobe Sound; son, Scott Mau of Wellington; and daughter, Wendy Altman of Boynton Beach, Florida.

A memorial service will be held in her honor on October 25, 2024, at Holy Spirit Lutheran Church in Juno Beach, Florida, at 2:00 PM.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Holy Spirit Lutheran Church capital appeal, Now...and Again, a cause close to Donna's heart. Her legacy of generosity and community involvement will undoubtedly live on through the continued prosperity of her church and the many lives she touched.
