So sad to hear of her passing
Donna was a good,caring person who loved and lived for her family.She will be missed by all.
I worked. With Donna when she was a bailiff with St. Louis County. She was always fun to be around and was always willing to help anyone out.
Donna helped me get my start in Law Enforcement. 🧡
Paul,
Bob and I are very sorry for your loss. We wanted to come up for funeral, but we both have other obligations we can’t leave . Please know that you and your family are in our hearts and prayers. Lots of hugs and kisses.
I worked in the same building with Donna for a long time. I will miss her awesome sense of humor & sweet stories about her Mom & family.
She always enjoyed my husband, Bob’s, Christmas cookies & looked forward to them each year.
When her Mom passed away, Donna remembered that I collected teapots & saved one for me with violets splayed across the front. It is one of my favorites & sits graciously on a shelf in my home & will always remind me of Donna’s thoughtfulness.
Fly high, my friend, until we see each other again.
I’m so very sorry to hear this. She was just a great person all around. Prayers for family and friends. May she rest in peace 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Donna was a most unique, caring and sweet friend to her Lindbergh High School Class of 1973 classmates, friends, elderly neighbors and all who knew her. Her greatest joy was her husband and grandchildren and I know she will be missed by many. She made a difference in our world by her generous heart and kindness. May she rest in peace, and I will be praying for her family and friends at this sad time.
My deepest condolences to Paul and the rest of the family. Donna and I worked together for several years at Anheuser-Busch. She was a true friend and we spoke all the time to each other regarding our families. I really enjoyed working with her. She was a good wife, Mother and Grandmother. She always worried about her loved ones. She will be deeply missed by us all. Rest in peace my friend and I am sure we will meet up again someday! 🙏
I just heard about Donna’s passing. I am so sorry for your loss. She was a great lady and had the best attitude. I worked with her for a number of years at St. Louis County Sheriff Office. I also played on a pool team with her husband, Paul. She will be so missed. Especially by her grandsons. When she talked of them, her face just lit up.
Donna was precious, precious lady. I will always remember her!
Paul, I’m so sorry for your loss! I’m a friend of Dianna Kammer and knew Donna thru her. She was a great lady and will be missed.

Paul, Maria & John, Ippolito’s and Scheer’s,
So sorry to see and hear of this. Very fond memories of Donna so many years ago. Her sense for “security” was clearly evident in her work and your family. My recollections of her will overshadow the sadness of this news. Thoughts and prayers.
I’m so sorry to hear about Aunt Donna. She was so funny, bright, and I have such fond memories of her, especially during those Halloweens spent at the Rych’s home. Please know you are in my thoughts <3
Donna was, as many people know, a very generous person. She and I were involved with fundraisers for the Backstoppers and Cardinal Glennon Childrens Hospital for many years. We have been good friends for almost 50 years; she is certainly one of a kind. God’s speed, rest in peace my friend. If there is a Hall of Fame for friends in Heaven, Donna will be inducted without hesitation.
Dear Nicki and Family,
My sincerest condolences to you all. She loved you all so much. I always enjoyed her energy and admired her generosity and willingness to help any of us kids. I imagine watching her as a grandmother was so fun to see. I’m sure the boys felt how much she loved them and I’m sure they will carry that spirit with them always. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
Paul sorry for your lost I known you and Donna for many years take care and I will see when I get to st.louis.
