Donna Mae Stindt

September 5, 1936 - January 7, 2019

Donna M. Stindt, age 82, of Oshkosh Wisconsin passed away at home surrounded by her loving family on Monday, January 7, 2019. She was born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin on September 5, 1936, the daughter of the late Leo and Jean (Schneider) Phillip. On October 15, 1955 Donna married the love of her life Donald Stindt at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Oshkosh. Donna’s most cherished job was being a wife, mother and homemaker. After the children were grown, she joined the work force and worked for Wisconsin Bell and then later, American Family Insurance. In addition to spending time with her husband, children, and grandchildren, she had many hobbies that included knitting and crotcheting (which included baby caps for the newborn babies at Ascension Hospital), gardening, cooking for her family, and “occasionally” taking road trips to the casino. She was also an Auxillary member of the Legion of Mary and was often called upon to pray the rosary for special intentions. One of her great joys in life were the pilgrimages she took to Medjugore. She had a strong faith and she was completely ready for the Lord to call her home. Donna is survived by her husband of 63 years, Donald Stindt of Oshkosh, their children, Sherry (Paul) Schultz of Grafton, Deb (Jeff) Teetzen of Oshkosh, Mark Stindt of Oshkosh, Tracy (Jim) Marin of Oshkosh, and Susan Stindt of Oshkosh. Their 9 grandchildren, Bryan (Christine) Schultz, Adam Schultz, Breanne (Tom) Hawkins, Donovan (Kaitlin) Stindt, Erin Stindt, Evan Stindt, Kayla (Ghoji) Blackburn, Gabriel (Taylor) Marin, and Samuel Stindt and 11 great grandchildren. Her siblings, Carole Levine, Marilyn Coates, Jim Phillip and Mike (Kim) Phillip. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother Ron Phillip. A time of visiting and sharing memories will be held on Friday January 11, 2019 from 9:30 - 11:30 am at Sacred Heart Catholic Church located at 519 Knapp St. Mass of Christian Burial will be held immediately after the visitation with Fr.
