Donna Warthman
Donna Kay Warthman, beloved wife, mother, daughter, grandmother and sister, passed away at Lutheran Hospital on May 3, 2024, surrounded by her family.
She was born on February 1, 1956, in Celina, Ohio to Robert P. Bollenbacher, who survives, and the late Mildred (Snider) Bollenbacher.
Donna was a devoted member of St. Paul's Country Church in Rockford. She dearly loved Indiana University basketball, frequently planning her outings around game times.

In addition to her mother, Donna was preceded in death by her brother, Ron Bollenbacher.
