Donna Robinson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Kessler Fahrenkrug Funeral Home - Neenah on Jan. 24, 2026.
Donna J. Robinson, age 79, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 23, 2026, at Maple Ridge Memory Care in Plover. On August 1, 1946, Donna Jean was born in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, to Robert and Norma (Schulz) Young. Following her high school graduation, Donna had worked for a telephone company before raising her children. Once her children were older, she decided to go back to work. She was employed with LaSalle Clinic as a receptionist for the surgery department and then transferred to Network Health, dedicating over 30 years of employment. Donna was also an Avon Representative for over 30 years as well.

One could always find Donna's nose in a book as she was a voracious reader, enjoying many authors. Traveling with her family was something she treasured. Many road trips were taken throughout the United States. She most enjoyed her weekend trips to Door County with her daughter or the weekend birthday sleepovers.

She was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Neenah and enjoyed being a part of many different church groups over the years.

Donna was a woman that exuded love to all. She was a second mother to many and everyone that knew her loved her just the same. Donna loved her family deeply and every moment she could spend with them gave her much joy, especially her grandsons.

Donna will be greatly missed by her loving children: William (Sarah) Robinson and Jennifer (Shad) DeWitt; her grandchildren: Orion Robinson and Quinn DeWitt; her brother, Robert (Jean) Young; her niece, Sarah (Marian) Bublavy; her nephew, Robbie (Ellen) Young; her best friends: Susan and Marty Kruzel; as well as other close family members and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents.

The Funeral Service for Donna will be held at 3:00 PM on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at Trinity Lutheran Church, 407 Oak Street, Neenah, Wisconsin 54956. The Visitation will be held from 2:00 PM until the hour of the Service at the church. Interment will take place in Oak Hill Cemetery in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

Memorials may be given in memory of Donna to:

Neenah Animal Shelter, 2475 Progress Court, Neenah, Wisconsin 54956, 920-722-9544
