Donna M. Probst 1961-2024
NORTH PORT, Fla. — Talk about someone who could light up a room! To meet Donna was to love Donna. … To know Donna was to be loved by Donna …
Donna Marie Seach Probst came into this world Jan. 30, 1961, and left us too soon, Monday, Oct. 21, 2024.
She will forever be remembered as vivacious and larger than life. Always with a smile on her face, Donna enjoyed meeting new people and making new friends.
Affectionately known as “Momma D,” she positively touched countless lives.
Donna was married to Dennis R. Probst for 35 years before his early passing in 2015. Together, they raised two wonderful children, Zachary (Lisa Dunn) Probst and Rachel (LeAnna Gnade) Probst.
In 2017, Donna met Bill Hansen, a blessing out of darkness. For the past several years they have shared love, laughter, travel, cards and golf (only ever really disagreeing on sporting events when Cleveland and Cincinnati played against each other).
Donna loved her flower gardens, watching and feeding the birds, mowing the yard and just being out in the sunshine. She was never without a tan after her winter migration to Florida! She was an avid traveler, especially on cruises and taking wild adventures with her best friend, Tracy Cerimele.
Donna will forever be missed by anyone blessed enough to have known her.
Donna is also survived by her sister, MaryAnn (Bri and Greg) Quinn; brother, Michael Seach; many other beloved family members; and several dear friends.
