Donna Bockelkamp, 61, passed away peacefully, Sunday, July 31, 2022, at her home in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. She was surrounded by her family, love, and her faith.
Born September 04, 1960, in Carlisle, PA, she was the daughter of Richard and Sara Zettlemoyer. Donna was united in marriage to her beloved husband Mark on May 14th, 1999. Together they raised 4 strong, proud, and loving children.
Donna proudly served in the United States Army. In addition to her dedicated military service, Donna was a supervisor for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. When she wasn't working, Donna was particularly talented with her garden. Each year, her care in the garden would produce a great harvest that the entire family would enjoy. Donna passionately loved her family, especially her grandchildren. She took every opportunity she could to spend time loving them, taking them on new adventures.
Most importantly, Donna was a follower of Christ. She put her trust in Christ's finished work on her behalf. Because of her love for Christ, she was an active member of Fairmont Community Church where she regularly attended services and served alongside her husband as the Youth Director for 7 years. She counted it a great privilege to disciple the next generation of Christ followers as to how to navigate this uncertain world with certainty in Christ.

I was blessed to have know Donna since the 90´s, with her being family. Not only was she family, but as a Sister in Christ, and a Army Sister. She is a pillar of her family, and all us are better people for having known her. She will greatly be miss. To Mark & the Kids, know how much we love you and are praying for you.
