Donald Sipe Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Affectionately nicknamed "Diamond Don," Donald was known for his quick wit, gentle teasing, and unique outlook on life. He delighted in rummage sale treasures, reading, and pursuing his many interests. An avid car enthusiast, he and his wife Martha enjoyed traveling and collecting cars, including their yellow Corvette. He also loved fishing and could often be found walking the mall or out for coffee in their pre-COVID routines.
Donald worked for 35 years at Delco Battery, where he formed lasting friendships and made meaningful contributions before retiring.
He was preceded in life by his wife of 73 years, Martha, earlier this year. Donald is survived by his children, John Sipe (Lynn), Linda Reynard (Terry), and Sandy Ma; eight grandchildren; and twelve great-grandchildren.
Donald will be remembered for his humor, his strong character, and the many stories and memories he leaves behind, reflecting a life lived on his own terms.
