Donna J. Werner

Donna J. Werner, 81, of Stratford, passed away on Tuesday, May 14, 2024 at Marshfield Medical Center in Marshfield.  She was born on October 27, 1942 in Marshfield, WI.

She married Neal Werner on June 30, 1962 at St. John Lutheran Church in the town of Wien.  She and Neal resided in rural Edgar, Town of Wien for most of their lives.  Donna then moved to Stratford after Neal's passing.

Donna held various jobs throughout her lifetime, most recently at Marathon Cheese, where she worked until her retirement.  She also ran the home farm with her husband while raising the children.

Donna instilled her love of reading to all of her children, which they all still enjoy today.  She also loved to garden, was an avid bird watcher, and loved anything to do with animals, especially dogs. She always had plenty of treats to go around for the dogs, even if they were not hers.

Survivors include her six children, Kathy (Larry), Mike, Ken, Kris (Darrell) Belanger, James, and Amy (Rob) Anderson; seven grandchildren; and three sisters, Anne, Mary, and Deb.  She was predeceased by her husband, Neal; parents; and brother, Pete “Bucky.”

A private family service will be held at a later date.  Online condolences may be expressed at www.petersonkraemer.com.
