Donna Marie Nettesheim, born on October 15, 1960, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, passed away on Wednesday, August 13, 2025. Donna was a cherished daughter, beloved wife, devoted mother, and proud grandmother, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and a spirit that touched the lives of all who knew her.
Donna is survived by her loving husband, David Nettesheim; her son, Chad (Lizzie) Nettesheim; her daughter, Amanda (Mike) Harrison; her father, Marvin Kath; and her cherished grandchildren, Logan, Brooklyn, Isabella, Connor, and Mason, along with many other relatives and friends.

In celebrating Donna's life, her family will hold a memorial service that will honor her memory and the profound impact she had on those around her. The service will be held on Wednesday August 20, 2025, at St. Teresa of Calcutta with a visitation for family and friends starting at 10:00 AM until the time of Mass at 12:00 PM.
Donna battled many rounds of cancer and treatments. She was gifted to live long enough to see her grandchildren. As we gather to remember Donna, we will celebrate her warmth, her laughter, and the many ways she enriched the lives of her family and friends. She will be deeply missed but will forever remain in our hearts.
