Donna Moore, 84, of State Highway 7, Richmondville, New York died Thursday, October 23, 2025 at Albany Medical Center.
As a young girl, Donna had worked in local dress and glove factories as a seamstress. She was later the accountant for the family concrete business. She enrolled in business classes to further her career at SUNY Cobleskill, where she retired after 25 years.
Donna had many skills and talents, impressively self-taught, though she was very modest. She could sew and crochet, made the most delicious chocolate jumbles at Christmas, and kept a beautiful garden and home. Donna loved her family unconditionally and was a cornerstone for many. She will be missed by all, including her many backyard birds. May she rest peacefully knowing she has left a loving legacy.
She was predeceased by her parents, John and Dorothy Sperbeck; brother, Ronnie Sperbeck; and sister, Carolyn Moeckel.
Cherishing her memory are her children, Steven Moore (wife Karen), Cheryl Moore (wife Tamara); grandchildren, Alex Moore (wife Victoria), Brandon Moore (Ariel), Arden Farnsworth-Moore; great-grandchildren: Ellie and Madilyn; sister, Marie Berry; brother, Alan Sperbeck; as well as many nieces and nephews.
The family will receive relatives and friends on Tuesday, October 28, 2025 from 10:00-11:00 AM at Mereness-Putnam Funeral Home, 171 Elm Street, Cobleskill, NY 12043. A funeral service will follow the visitation at 11:00 AM with Pastor Richard Unger officiating. Burial will take place in Zion Rural Cemetery.
Donations can be made to the Animal Shelter of Schoharie Valley, PO Box 40, Howes Cave, NY 12092.
