Lisa Marie Donna age 65 of Reedsburg, Wi sadly passed away on Thursday May 7, 2026 after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer, in her home with her family by her side. 

She was born September 2, 1960 in Chicago, Ill to her loving parents Antone and Barbara (Peterson) Donna.

Lisa enjoyed spending time outdoors, tending to her vegetable and flower gardens (digging in the dirt as she put it), and having her morning coffee on the porch while watching nature awake. She enjoyed cooking and grilling out, making her wife’s favorite recipes and trying new ones. She liked swimming, fishing, camping, boating, and traveling with her wife, family, and friends.

She had a love for all animals and they loved and trusted her back. She had a special place in her heart for her pet house rabbits, Jett, Loppy, Maceygray, and Good Girl.

Lisa was a bit of a gambler, spending time with her mom and  wife visiting casinos and the dog tracks, making several trips to Las Vegas.

Above all else Lisa loved her family deeply and cherished the time spent with her many nieces and nephews.

Lisa is survived by her wife Julie Dolan, sharing 39 years together; siblings: David (Paula) Donna of Park Rapids, MN, Paul (Angie) Donna of Hugo, MN, Lawrence (Shannon) Donna of Hudson, WI, Sharon Donna (Jim) of Fall Creek, WI; sister-in-law: Jill Dolan of Reedsburg, WI; 13 beloved nieces and nephews: Elizabeth (Scott) Festin, Antone (Ashley) Donna, Lauren (Willy) Baregi, Kristy (Chad) Locke, Sam, Will, Josh, Ava, Ted, Sophia, Catterina, Charlie, Maks, Rob and Ryan; eight great nieces and nephews: Wyatt, Henry, Adelyn, Mason, Carson, Peyton, Jameson, Avahlyn, Myla and Livia, along with many other relatives and friends.

Lisa was preceded in death by her parents Antone and Barbara Donna; parents-in-law: Robert and Nancy Dolan; brother-in-law: Jeffrey Dolan; grandparents: Louis and Elsie Gershon, Antone and Lydia Donna.
