Donna M. Wittkowski

Donna Wittkowski (née Baumgardner), age 72, passed away peacefully in her home on February 13, 2026, in Bellmawr, New Jersey following a long battle with Alzheimer's dementia.

Born on September 4, 1953 to Samuel and Susanna Baumgardner, Donna lived a life defined by compassion, faith, and unwavering devotion to her family, friends, and community. Her spirituality guided her throughout her life and inspired her tireless service to others. She put herself through college and received an advanced degree in Social Work so that she could help others throughout multiple careers. She was an active member of St. Rose of Lima Parish, where she found both solace and community. She dedicated herself to charitable organizations such as Interfaith Caregivers and St. Vincent de Paul, embodying the values of kindness and generosity in every aspect of her life.

Donna's selflessness touched all who knew her. She had a remarkable ability to make everyone feel loved and valued-a gift that left a lasting impression on friends, neighbors, and those she served through her volunteer work.

She is survived by her husband Richard; her daughters Alexis Conroy (Kevin) and Kristen Pinckard (Anthony); and her cherished grandchildren Cooper Conroy, Quinn Conroy, Charlotte Pinckard, and Dean Pinckard. Donna also leaves behind her twin sister Debra Kaiser; niece Jillian Lawrence (Eric); nephews Brandon Mackie (Kate) and Justin Wittkowski (Christina); a multitude of lifelong friends; and many others whose lives were enriched by her presence.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Samuel and Susanna Baumgardner, as well as her sister Carol Mackie.

Donna's legacy is one of love in action-through faith, family, and service. May her memory bring comfort to those who knew her. A Funeral Service will be held on February 27, 2026 at Saint Rose of Lima Church 300 East Kings Highway. Visitation begins at 9:45 a.m. Mass will begin at 11 a.m.
