    Donna was a friend for many years! We made many trips together - from Las Vegas, to Virginia to Oregon! As we aged, we still got together to pay board games. And, how we laughed all those times. At times, we leaned on one another for support. I will miss that companionship. My sincere condolences to the family, especially Bill Sue as I knew them best! She was very proud to become a Great Grandma also! Winnie Boyar

    We had the great pleasure of knowing Donna since 1982, when we moved into a house 2 doors down from her. She was a joy to be around, so friendly and fun to talk with. We really miss her. You have our deepest sympathy. Michael Benesh and Sylvia Schlieckau (1114 Emerald St).

    I've known George & Donna for years ever since I worked at Messner Restaurant Supply and now have followed Bill to the Curve continuing a family operation. Donna was such a sweetie and will be missed by all of the Madison community. Dave Anderson

    My heart goes out to Donna's family. I found Donna a woman of such Grace. She was always kind, upbeat, open and fun. As a young teen I rode along with her on trips to Mishicot if George wasn't able to go. My job, keep the young kids, I guess my first cousins once removed, in the back seat entertained and not fighting. In retrospect, it was a genius plan. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time and hope in time your wonderful memories will bring you peace and joy. Much love, Linda Antonie-Lusk

    Aunt Donna was my God Mother. We stayed in touch by phone which I really enjoyed her sense of humor. I'm sure it broke many hearts with her passing💕 Her entire family is in my prayers🙏

    My condolences to Donna's family. Donna was my good friend for many years. We did a lot of traveling together and had many fun times. Traveling Europe on a river cruise we had to go to the hospital and neither of us could speak German. How we managed to get through that and the cab ride back to the boat was very interesting! We went through good and hard times together. She was absolutely a lovely woman and will be missed tremendously! My prayers and hugs.

what our families say

Tiffany Foster went out of her way to fulfill all my requests, talked me through problems I was facing, and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible when I was a wreck, totally crushed, and I thank her with all of my heart for that.

The professional manner of the staff made a difficult time a little easier.

Lynda R. | July 2020

Services provided for both parents were perfect, on time, and no issues. Brenda is awesome and strong!

Michael M. | July 2020

Skyler was absolutely amazing. She was so caring and helpful through this whole process. She even went above and beyond to meet with us in DeForest and even to make a stop at our home to drop off or pick up anything needed. While it was a small gesture, it was so helpful and greatly appreciated.
