Donna Marie Knaub, age 75, of Felton, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 22, 2025. Born in York on February 10, 1950, she was the daughter of the late Randall and Mary (Miller) Garner.
Donna was a proud 1968 graduate of Red Lion High School. She dedicated many years to the York Newspaper, where she first worked as a press operator and later in route delivery. She took great pride in her work and the friends she made along the way.
Creative and full of life, Donna enjoyed ceramics and built a beautiful collection over the years. In her younger days, she was a talented artist who filled sketchbooks with her drawings. She also loved coloring and shared her bright, cheerful creations with those she loved. Donna was especially fond of the holidays-she decorated her home for every one of them and delighted in the joy they brought. She enjoyed watching The Price Is Right and cheering on her favorite team, the Philadelphia Eagles.
Donna is survived by her loving daughter, Melissa J. Knaub; her caring daughter-in-law, Cathy J. Frey; and her cherished grandchildren, Logan, Landon, Lucas, and Lindsay Frey. She was preceded in death by her beloved son, Robert S. "Bobby" Frey, Jr., and her dear sister, Barbara Frey, who passed away less than a week before her.
Services for Donna will be private at the convenience of her family. Interment in Susquehanna Memorial Gardens will also be private.
