Donna Jean Epler

Donna adored her children and grandchildren, and cherished the time spent with them. She loved to bake for just about any occasion, decorating her home for the holidays and all things Disney related. She also enjoyed spending time watching the QVC channel and listening to Rod Stewart.

Those left to treasure her memory are her children, James Epler, fiancé of Tina Wiatrowski; and Crystal Klisiewicz, wife of Chad; her grandchildren: Rebecca wife of Colin Burky, Casey Klisiewicz, Haley Klisiewicz, partner of Bear Ewing, Danielle Klisiewicz, and Declan Epler; and her siblings: Sam Knerr, husband of Maggie, Susanne Kripplebauer, wife of Richard; Donald Knerr, Jr; Scott Knerr, partner of Robin; and Sharon Skinner, wife of Nelson.

In addition to her mother, Donna is predeceased by her partner of 15 years, John Button, Sr., her sister, Sandra Buck, and her husband, James Epler, Sr.
