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 years old. Her faith was the foundation of her life, guiding her every step and inspiring those around her to live with compassion and gratitude. She left us with a lifetime of beautiful memories and an enduring legacy of kindness, strength, and unconditional love.

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. She was devoted to him and loved him more than life itself. Jack cherished her and loved her more than life itself. 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. She especially loved to going out to eat with family and friends. Her warmth, laughter, and love will never be forgotten.

She is survived by her husband, Jack Savage, her children Larry (Barb), Rob (Heidi) and Leanne Walkenhorst (Jack), her 11 grandchildren Elizabeth, Kelsey, Jessica, Laura, Kristine, Michael, JC, Josh, Morgan, Riley and Isabella, and10 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother Gary (Shirley) Brinker, and many dear friends from Our Lady of Victory. She was preceded in death by her parents, Clarence and Florence Brinker, her brother Clancy Brinker, and her sister Debbie (Brinker) Barnes.

A celebration of her life and faith will take place on November 6th at Radel Funeral Home from 5:00-7:00 pm and Mass of Christian Burial 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 spirit guides us, and her memory will remain with us forever.
