Donna L. Devlin, age 73, of Mount Pleasant, passed away on August 17, 2022, at her home.
Donna was born in Racine on January 9, 1949, the only child of the late Herbert and Maryanne (nee: Jung) Berry. She attended Racine schools and was a graduate of St. Catherine’s High School.

Donna was employed as a Medical Assistant/ Retinal Angiographer in the office of Dr. Dennis Kontra in Racine for many years.
Donna grew up listening to the Beatles and was fortunate to see them perform in Chicago. An avid nascar fan, she attended a few races including Talladega, Daytona, and Bristol. She was Matt Kenseth’s greatest fan. Donna was a civil war nut and enjoyed her trips to Gettysburg. Most of all, she loved her grandsons, and enjoyed her visits with her great granddaughter, Emma.
She is survived by her Husband Richard; her two children, Jennifer (the late Andreas) Haase and Dana Devlin; her grandchildren, Kyle (Laura Moistner) Devlin, Nicholas Alby, Devin (Willow Ahnen) Smrekar, and Dalton Smrekar, and her great granddaughter, Emma Smrekar.

Dana says
The family would like to give special recognition to their daughter Jennifer Haase for years of caretaking. Jeni made sure that her mother and father were well taken care of. Doctors and hospitals; household work; physical and emotional care; groceries and medicine; dog sitting, etc. She spent relentless hours looking out for their well being. Their grandson Kyle Devlin was also very instrumental, tending to their dogs day and night, as well as physical and emotional care. The love and support she received from ALL of her grandchildren will never be forgotten.
