Donna Jean Winter (Pollesch) age 77, passed away peacefully on April 20, 2025, in the early rainy morning of Easter Sunday from a short battle of cancer.

Born September 5th, 1947, in Beaver Dam to Robert (Delores Born) Pollesch. Donna grew up mostly in the Horicon and Beaver Dam area. She worked at Maysteel as a CNC machinist until her retirement. After that she had many different jobs but mostly spent time with her kids & grandkids. She loved her family & close friends. She was an avid Packer and Brewers fan! She loved her lottery tickets, taxi rides and the casino.

She was preceded in death by her husband, David in 2003; brothers, Duwayne, Larry, Kurt, and Jimmy; sister, Diane; niece, Kay; and other relatives.

Donna's wishes were to have no service but a celebration of life will be at a later date.

She is truly missed by her family and friends.

Family would like to thank St. Mary's Hospital, Bedrock, and Rainbow Hospice for their care during this short and difficult time.
