Donna J. Savage

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Donna Jean (Brinker) Savage, who went home to be with the Lord on October 29, 2025, at the age of 83. Her Catholic faith was the foundation of her life, and she lived it with grace, kindness, humor, and a genuine love for others. She leaves behind a legacy of love, devotion, and joy that will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew her.

Born on August 13, 1942 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Donna lived a life devoted to her family. Jack and Donna were sweethearts since they first met in high school and were married for 64 years. They were devoted to each other and their love for one another will remain endless. She loved every moment spent with her children and grandchildren, always up for family get-togethers and having fun with the kids. Donna was full of joy and laughter and was known for her quick wit and mischievous sense of humor. She loved playing jokes and pulling lighthearted pranks, filling every room with laughter and warmth.

Donna is survived by her beloved husband, Jack Savage; her children Larry (Barb) Savage, Rob (Heidi) Savage and Leanne (Jack) Walkenhorst; grandchildren Elizabeth, Jessica, Laura, Kristine, Kelsey, Michael, JC, Josh, Morgan, Riley, and Isabella; and 10 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother Gary (Shirley) Brinker, and many dear friends from Our Lady of Victory Parish.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Clarence and Florence Brinker, her brother Clancy Brinker, and her sister Debbie (Brinker) Barnes.

Visitation will be held on November 6th at Radel Funeral Home from 5:00–7:00 PM. A Funeral Mass and Burial will take place on November 7th at Our Lady of Victory Church at 11:00 AM.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Seton High School.

Donna’s love shaped us. Her laughter lifted us. Her faith guided us. And her spirit will remain with us always.
