Obituary For Donna Shero
Donna M. Shero, 82, Carrolltown, passed away November 2, 2024 peacefully in her home. She was born March 1, 1942 in Colver, the daughter of Theodore R. and Elizabeth “Tootsie” (Mihalik) Lapina. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her former husband, Richard Shero, and her daughter, Judith Eckenrode. She is survived by her children, Nancy Rezk, Barbara Sharbaugh, Suzi Shero, Becky Shero (Eb), son-in-law John Eckenrode; grandchildren, Jonathan, Ricky (Julie), Samantha (Charlie), Elizabeth (Jordan), Neil (Alexa), Annie (Kelly), Jacob, Mikey, Sam; great grandchildren, Stephen, Layla, Tyler, Courtney, Mackenzie, Madison, Alexis, Emma, and Elliot; and “grandpets”, Piper, Sesame, Lavender, and Lady Grey.
Donna was a wonderfully strong, hardworking, creative, and loving woman. She was formerly employed at Cambria Medical Supply and retired from the Sears Department Store in Altoona. She was a member of St. Benedict Church, Carrolltown and a lifetime member of the Bavarian Club, Altoona along with her dearest friend, Peggy (lovingly known to Donna as “Margaret”). Donna was a proud Mum to her 5 girls and Gma to multiple grandchildren, always praising each of their accomplishments in life. Donna loved her cat, Catie, who preceded her in death along with her “grandpets”, Buddha James, Cowher, Tessa, and Oat. Donna was an avid gardener and cook, often found canning her produce and making her famous marinara sauce from her 100-year-old tomatoes. She also enjoyed sewing and quilting with her dear friends at the Creative Fabrics and Quilt Shop in Ebensburg. Above all, Donna loved spending time with her loved ones, whether it be playing tennis in her early years, making dozens and dozens of pierogies with her daughters and grandkids, hitting up the casino at Rocky Gap, or simply browsing the dinner menu for Saturday night take out. Donna will be dearly missed by all who have known her, and her family would like to extend their sincerest gratitude for the individuals at Resta and 365 Hospice for allowing her wishes to be honored in the last moments of her life.
Family and friends will be received from 5 to 7 pm Thursday November 7th at Stevens Funeral Home, Inc 146 N. Main St. Carrolltown, PA 15722. A funeral service will be held at 11 am on Friday November 8th at the funeral home. Rev. Michael Gabler O.S.B. officiating. Interment, St. Benedict Cemetery, Carrolltown.
