Donna was preceded in death by her husband Francis “Bud” Schubeck; her grandson Jacob; and her brothers, Dennis and Darrel.

On behalf of Team Sheegog, we wish to express our heartfelt condolences on the passing of your mother. We are thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. May you find comfort in the memories you shared and in the support of friends and colleagues. Please know that we are here for you.

Donna was a valued part of our Bible study group which she suggested be called Cherished Sisters. She was a precious sister in Christ to all of us….. her love, insight, thoughtfulness, and sense of humor have been missed already. We are sad we were not able to say our “see you later” but her love for Jesus gives us comfort and assurance we will meet again! To her family: we are praying you all have that same comfort and assurance. Donna loved all of you so much and I know I can speak for her that that was her hearts desire too. We grieve with you for your loss but also rejoice with you for the promise of freedom and eternal life. In Christ’s love and ours , Cora, Mary, Lu, Jan, Amy and Judy
