Donna June Oswald (Weidinger)

Donna left us to be in a better place free of pain and suffering. She suffered a stroke on December 28 2022 followed by a short battle with aggressive and painful cancer. She died peacefully in her sleep on Friday January 27 2023. She was 78 years old.

Donna had a long career at Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Michigan where she met many true lifetime friends.

She is preceded by her parents Una and Donald Weidinger, sister Dorothy Cisco (Wedinger), sister Patricia Whitaker (Weidinger), and sister Marcia Nickoli (Weidinger). She is survived by her sister Sharon Wilson (Weidinger), two sons Jon DeArman and James DeArman, Grand children Alicia DeArman and David DeArman, and many great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

The highlights of her life for about the last 10 years was talking, texting, and in other ways communicating with her family and friends. Spending quality time with another love of her life Charlie, her 5 year old puppy. And feeding and talking to the desert critters and birds.

One can only hope the people that were touched by her loving personality will share the care and compassion she had for other people. May she rest in peace.
