Donna's family would like to extend their heart-felt appreciation to the St. Francis Terrace, St. Francis Home, and Hospice Hope for the fine care she received. Donna is remembered for always prioritizing her family's needs over her own. She worked nights for many years to care for her children during the day. Her children and grandchildren will remember all those things she baked for them; miniature Easter cookies, peanut squares and the best ever apple pie. She loved to bake. She made quilts for every occasion and embroidered dish towels and crocheted dish rags each Christmas for her children and grandchildren. She had an infectious laugh. She prayed the Rosary daily with her best friend Frankie. For additional information, please contact the Sippel Funeral Home in St. Cloud (920) 999-2291 or visit www.sippelfuneralhome.net.
