Lincoln, Donnamae Alice (Hraban) (16 JUL 1938 - 24 NOV 2018)

Donnamae Alice Lincoln, 80, of Pewaukee, formerly a longtime resident of Waukesha, passed away peacefully on Saturday, Nov. 24, 2018, with her loving family by her side.

Donnamae was born on July 16, 1938, the daughter of Charles and Clara (Mechelke) Hraban in Tony. She was a longtime devoted and faithful member of Ascension Lutheran Church. She will be remembered for her sweet, thoughtful and gentle nature.

There was a time that she enjoyed crocheting, sewing doll clothes for her daughters’ Barbies, canning and playing cards and board games. She easily transitioned to meet the sign of the times as Facebook became popular she stayed in touch on Facebook and social media. Her easy going nature made her easy to be around but she was most happy when she could spend time with her children and especially the grand and great-grandchildren.

She enjoyed her longtime marriage of 40 years to her husband John until he passed away in 2000.

Donna will be deeply missed by her daughters, Julie (Mark) Holat of Waupaca, Sherry (Mike) Hoelzl of Dousman, Brenda (Danny) Hofstetter of Brookfield and Tina (John) Falter of Hartland; her dear grandchildren, Cassie (Ben), Travis (Kirbi), Michelle (Jesse), George (Amanda), Eric, Wendy (Ryder), Robbie (Kristen), Kristy, Joey (Savanna), Tom (Shannon), Andy (Caitlyn) and Chris; loving great-grandchildren, Mackenzi, Malachi, Otis, Cordell, Juliana, Baby Hoelzl, Clara, Baby Fischer, Jax, Connor, Emilia, Dylan and Wyatt. She is the sister of Phyllis (Warren) Paul of Oak Creek and Charles Hraban of Ladysmith. She is further survived by other relatives and many friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband, John; her sisters, Lucille, Pearl, Francis and Mildred and her brothers, Richard, Roger, Rudy and Walter.

The visitation for Donna was held on Monday, Dec. 3, at Ascension Lutheran Church, Waukesha, with Rev. Chris Marien officiating. Memorials are appreciated to AngelsGrace Hospice, Ascension Lutheran Church and the American Lung Association.

The family would like to thank AngelsGrace Hospice and the staff for their tender love and care of their mom.
