STOW - Donna Fae Malm, 95, was taken peacefully to Heaven to be with her Lord on December 20, 2025.
Donna was born in Canton, Ohio, and was a resident of Stow since 1980. Donna was a loving wife, sister, mother, grandmother, and friend to many.
Donna was employed by Falls Savings and Loan, beginning her career as a bank teller and advanced to the position of head of the Mortgage and Loan Department. She was a member of Living Vine Community Church and enjoyed attending and serving the Sunshiner Ministry. She also looked forward to the various bus trips and Lunch Buddies with Stow Parks and Recreation.
