Obituary
Donna (Maaks) Bruno, 91, passed away
on September 21, 2025 in Bloomington, IL.
Donna was born on December 5, 1933, in Mason City,
Illinois; daughter of Fritz and Mable Marie (Erdman)
Harnacke. She grew up alongside her beloved sister,
Anne.
She married Charles Allan Bruno in 2007, with whom
she shared many cherished years. He preceded her in
death on January 16, 2025.
Donna worked for many years as a bank teller and
also at the post office. Outside of work, she
cultivated a rich and joyful life. A Master
Gardener, she found great pleasure in nurturing
beauty from the earth. She loved to travel,
especially with her sister Anne, and was always
ready to dance with the Senior Sidekicks. One of her
greatest joys was dancing to the music her husband
Chuck played, a treasured part of their life
together.
Donna will be remembered for her grace, her
adventurous spirit, and the love she shared with
those around her. She will be dearly missed by all
who knew her.
Memorials may be made in Donna’s name
to the Carle Cancer Institute.
A graveside service for Donna will be 11am Tuesday
September 30, 2025 at Richmond Grove Cemetery in New
Holland, IL with Pastor Robert Twist Officiating.
Services are entrusted to Calvert Metzler Memorial
Home in Bloomington, IL. |
