DONNA ALLEN

Donna E. Allen, age 91, passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 19, 2023. She graduated from West High School in Madison and went on to attend UW-Whitewater. Donna married Eugene Allen on April 14, 1951 and they were blessed with three children.  She was a dedicated wife and mother, and an integral part of Eugene's tax business. 

Donna loved being part of the local community.   She was an active member of First United Methodist Church in Neenah, PEO Chapter EB, Tuesday Club, and King's Daughters, holding leadership positions in each. She was also a longtime bridge player and President of the Residence Council at Island Shores.  

Donna's family was very important, and she treasured the time spent with them. She looked forward to family gatherings with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She particularly enjoyed the times at “Camp Allen” where she and Eugene would host their grandchildren for a week of fun and activities during the summer.  

She is survived by her children Kristine (Walter) Peppler and Timothy (Stacy) Allen; grandchildren Laura (Gary) Schweisthal, Lisa (Cory) Lang, Daniel (Sara) Peppler, Kara (Nick) Lombardino, Joel Peppler, Chloe Allen, and Felicity Allen; 9 great-grandchildren and cousin Richard (Patricia) Christensen.

Donna was preceded in death by her parents, husband Eugene Allen, and son Thomas Allen.

The memorial service for Donna will be held at 11:00 am on Friday, December 8, 2023 at First United Methodist Church, 108 W. Doty Avenue, Neenah. A visitation will be held at the church from 10:00 am until the time of the service. In lieu of flowers, donations to the First United Methodist Church are appreciated.

Donna's family would like to give a warm thank you to the staff at Island Shores and ThedaCare Hospice for their wonderful care.
