Obituary published on Legacy.com by Loose Funeral Homes & Crematory on Jan. 2, 2026.
Donna Marie Ashpaugh, 62, passed away on December 30, 2025, in Anderson, Indiana.

She was born on September 21, 1963, in Gary, Indiana, to Donald and Lois (Troxell) Putt. Donna graduated from East Chicago Roosevelt High School in 1981.

Over 32 years ago, Donna married her soul mate, David, and together they shared a life built on love, companionship, and devotion. She worked as a customer service representative, where her patience and kindness left a lasting impression on those she helped.

Donna had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, and throughout her life she was rarely without canine companions, along with a few cats along the way. In her quieter moments, she enjoyed reading horror and mystery novels, always eager for a good story.

Donna is survived by her loving spouse, David Ashpaugh; daughter, Jennifer (Tim) Will; granddaughter, Kylie Will; grandson, Mason Will; sisters, Sandra Putt and Patricia Martin.

Donna was preceded in death by her parents; and sister, Mary Putt.

In accordance with Donna's wishes, cremation has been chosen. A private family gathering will be held at a later date.

Donna will be lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
