Donna Fahl Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Donna was born on March 25, 1938, in Gagetown, to Clayton and Charlotte (McKee) Carr. She graduated from Owendale High School in 1956. She worked as a caregiver for many in the area over the years. Donna liked playing euchre, working puzzles, cleaning and collecting tools for her garage. She loved attending her grandchildren's ball games and events and was their biggest cheerleader. She made friends everywhere she went, was an excellent story teller and had the most contagious laugh. The love of her family was evident and she will be dearly missed.
Donna is survived by her children: Clayton (Eileen) Fahl, David (Sharon Jackson) Fahl and Kimberly (Thaddeus) Winiecki; grandchildren: Melissa (Mike) Geiseman, Megan (Brian) Kontranowski, Kala (Tyler) Smith, Tyonna (TJ) Schepperly, Taylor Fahl and Tyler (Mary) Jackson; great grandchildren: Mazie, Theo, Addalyn, Thomas, Gianna and Braylen; sisters: June Carr, Verna Linderman and Sharon Mitchell; and many nieces and nephews.
Donna is preceded in death by her parents and brothers: Richard, Bill and Jack Carr.
The visitation and service will be Friday, April 25, 2025 at Juengel & Mellendorf Funeral Home in Sebewaing from 8:30am-1pm with the service at 1pm. Brad Haist will be officiating. Burial will be at Elmwood Township Cemetery in Gagetown with a luncheon to follow.

I haven´t seen Donna in more than a decade . I will always remember her as the girl with the perennial smile & the hearty laugh. She had a truly great personality.
I regret that I didn´t see her more often
I´m happy that I was able to talk to her a year or two ago after not talking to her in years. She still had that great joy of life
In her voice even then.
I´m happy I knew her.
