It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Donna Jean Merkel, age 81, who left us peacefully on March 19, 2025, in her home in Dillsboro, Indiana. Born on May 24, 1943, in Covington, Kentucky, Donna touched the lives of many with her vibrant spirit and unwavering love for family and friends. Donna was a devoted housewife who found joy in the simple pleasures of life. Her knack for creating beautiful floral arrangements brought beauty to her home and happiness to those who received them. She had a special talent for cooking and baking, filling her family's gatherings with delicious meals and sweet treats that will be fondly remembered. A true lover of animals, Donna found great joy in the companionship of her cherished cats and dog, who were a constant source of comfort and laughter throughout her life. In her leisure time, she enjoyed crafts, knitting, and indulging in her fondness for shiny jewelry while shopping, even if she occasionally left the store empty-handed.
