Donna Oswald Obituary

Donna June Oswald (Weidinger)

Jan 27, 2023

Dolan Springs, AZ

Donna June Oswald (Weidinger), 78, died peacefully in her sleep Friday, Jan. 27, 2023.

Donna left us to be in a better place, free of pain and suffering. She suffered a stroke Dec. 28, 2022, and then had a short battle with aggressive and painful cancer.

Donna had a long career at Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Michigan where she met many true lifetime friends.

She is survived by her sister, Sharon Wilson (Weidinger); two sons, Jon DeArman and James DeArman; grandchildren, Alicia DeArman and David DeArman; and many great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Una and Donald Weidinger; and sisters, Dorothy Cisco (Wedinger), Patricia Whitaker (Weidinger), and Marcia Nickoli (Weidinger).

The highlights of her life for about the last 10 years was talking, texting, and in other ways communicating with her family and friends. She loved spending quality time with another love of her life, Charlie, her five-year-old puppy. She also enjoyed feeding and talking to the desert critters and birds.

One can only hope the people that were touched by her loving personality will share the care and compassion she had for other people. May she rest in peace.

Donna will be greatly missed! She was a True Lifelong Friend to All. Had the honor of working with DO at the Blues in Master Medical. The Blues were a Large Extended Family! Great Times!

I met and worked with Donna many many years ago. I guess I could say we grew up and older together at BCBSM and after we retired we were still email buddies. I treasure that I could call her my friend for all these years. Rest in peace Donna, my friend..
