Donna Marie (Bushman) Harris 52, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on March 26, 2022. She was born January 11, 1970 to Norman Bushman and the late Bette Baenen.
Donna attended Oconto Falls public schools and later went on to marry the love of her life, Danny Harris, on June 26, 1995. Together they raised two sons.
Donna provided in-home childcare for 10 years. She then provided home health care for her mother when she fell ill and later, followed in her mother's footsteps, and became a Certified Nursing Assistant. Donna worked at the Oconto Falls Nursing Home for 16 years, until she became ill.
She inherited her love for purses from her mother and throughout the years she became an avid purse collector.
Donna had admiration for big trucks and took great pride in them. She always had the funniest white elephant and anytime gifts. Donna was a very proud grandmother and enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren.
Donna is survived by her husband Danny;
sons: Christopher and Alexander Harris;
and her dogs, "her girls";
grandchildren, Wesley, Kylan, and Alayaa;
her father, Norman (Karen) Bushman;
her sisters: Debbie (Scott) Bushman and Denise (Keith) Kinjerski;
nieces: Denae (Justin) Schenkoski and Jayden Laurent;
great niece Aurora Schenkoski;
nephew, Kamin (Andrea) Vandenlangenberg;
great nephew, Rykr Schenkoski;
longtime friends Ruth Long, Terri Davis, and Lavada Wielgus;
many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
Donna was preceded in death by her mother, Bette Baenen; step father, John 'Jake' Baenen;
maternal grandparents Lyle and Lila Wolff;
paternal grandparents Mildred Lashbrook and Sylvester Bushman;
and her in-laws, Marge and Dudley Harris.
Per Donna's wishes there will not be a funeral. There will be a private celebration of life held by her family.
