Obituary

STOUGHTON-Donna Jean Onsrud, age 87, of Stoughton, passed away on Thursday, Oct. 12, 2017, in Madison. She was born on July 3, 1930, in Madison, the daughter of Robert and Ella Mae Walton. She married Harold Onsrud on Oct. 26, 1951, in Madison. Donna graduated from Central High School in Madison, Class of 1948. She loved to cook for her family and also chose that as her career. Donna served as president of the Ladies Auxiliary at the Stoughton Country Club. She played many rounds of golf and bowled many games, being a league member of both sports for many years. Donna loved to play cards and was a killer Scrabble player. She also enjoyed watching the Brewers and knitting. Donna volunteered for many years at the Stoughton Senior Center and was a proud member of the Red Hat Society. She was a strong, very spirited and some would say, stubborn woman. However, surrounded by her family, this beautiful woman passed away with purple streaks in her hair, her mischievous nature and the twinkle in her eyes fully intact. Donna will be greatly missed by many. She is survived by her daughters; Terry Stocks, Connie (David) Clark, Randi (Steve) Bersing and Mindy (Mark) Johnson; grandchildren, Tammie Blawusch (Mark Brooks), Jeni (Mike) Cruz, Michael (Amanda) Fuchs, Shana (Sean) Link, Natalie (Ben) Richter, Marissa (Jason) McHugh, Makayla (Kency) Mota, Conner Bersing, Tucker Johnson (Alicia Stadt) and Sawyer Johnson; great-grandchildren, Emma Gullickson, Wyatt Brooks, Alexia, Savannah, Sienna and Sequoia Cruz, Kai and Mia Fuchs, Bayli and Cali Gorsuch, Cassidy and Cara Link, Mason, Brooks and Etta Richter, Nola, Finley and Mae McHugh and Kenny and Silas Mota; and great-great-grandson, Kingston Doe. Donna was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Ella Mae Walton; husband, Harold; and son-in-law, Kenny Stocks.  A Memorial Service will be held at CHRIST LUTHERAN CHURCH, 700 Cty. Rd. B, Stoughton, at 11:30 a.m., on Monday, Oct. 16, 2017, with Pastor Paula Geister-Jones presiding. A lunch will follow the service at the church.
