Donna Lee was born on November 15, 1936 in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin to Carl and Lila (Shern) Haima. After graduating high school, she went on to learn the trade of cosmetology. She made a fifty-year career out of beautifying Beaver Dams locals at “Donna’s Beauty Shop”.  Donna experienced many things in life, some tough and some grand. She was able to travel to many places. One of her fondest memories was when she traveled to Las Vegas with her son and got to see George Straight perform. Donna always had a good eye for art and later in life, she discovered that she too was somewhat of an artist. She made beautiful paintings and drawings which will be cherished for generations.

Donna is survived by her sons, Robert (Jackie) Beske of Litchfield Park, AZ and Mark (Julie) Beske of Hartford; grandchildren, Amber Rigoni, Ryan Beske, Rachel Beske, Marisa Beske, and Holly Beske; great grandchildren, Trent, Isaac, and Aiden; sister-in-law, Carol Beske of Fox Lake; nieces and nephews, other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband Clarence Beske; children, Linda Tillou and Gary Beske; grandchildren, Kyle and Bethany; and great grandson, Ravyn.

Memorials may be made in Donna L. Beske’s name to St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church.
