Obituary

Donna Fae O'Neill, 87, born June 28, 1932 in Superior WI, the 9th of 10 children. Her maiden name was Donna Fae Crist. Passed away February 15, 2020, surrounded by her family.

Preceded in death by her parents, by Ruth Johnson (her auntie) and by her siblings, Lucille, Roland, Veryl, Marian, Hazel, Donald, Orville, Ivaloe & Donna Mae.

Survived by her loving husband, John O'Neill, of Superior, WI, her son Brett & his wife Patti, of Ramsey, MN and by her grandchildren, John (Krystal) and Katie of Ramsey, MN and Taylor of Minneapolis, MN.

Donna Fae worked for many years in the television industry in Duluth, where she was the TV traffic manager responsible for scheduling commercials at KDAL. One particular highlight of her career was having coffee one afternoon with the iconic Dan Rather, of the CBS Evening News.

She deeply loved her husband of 68 years Johnny as she called him! They went on many vacations through the years to places like Hawaii, Paradise Island in the Bahamas & Grand Caymen Island.

She loved her family more than anything and enjoyed attending her grandchildren's activities, whether it be a dance recital or a hockey game. In her later years, she developed a passion for watching her favorite football team, the Minnesota Vikings! She was an excellent cook and her son Brett will miss her salmon loaf with white gravy. She was a loving person who lived her life with style & grace and will be missed by her family and friends.

Her life will be celebrated at a private family memorial service at Downs Funeral Home, Superior, WI.
