With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Donna Jeanne Palusky, born on June 5, 1941 and passed away May 24, 2025, at the age of 83.

Donna grew up in Red Lake Falls, Minnesota with her family, and eventually moved to Duluth, Minnesota, and graduated from Duluth Central High School. Her ambitions included keeping things in very good order and helping others. She and her husband, Donald Palusky, enjoyed life living both in Duluth, Minnesota and Punta Gorda, Florida for twenty-five years prior to his death in 2020. She had a great talent of entertaining friends and family with her skills of cooking and making people feel at home. Her motherly love exceeded all her other talents of which her four children and grandchildren were blessed to receive. Her other passions included golfing and gardening.

Donna was preceded in death by her husband, Donald Palusky; father, Henry J. Hinrichs; and mother, Hazel G. Hinrichs.

Donna is survived by her children, Lori J. (Bradley) Busch, William "Billy" Mark (Carla) Del Zotto, Christopher J. (Patty) Del Zotto, and Nicholas S. (Missy) Del Zotto; thirteen grandchildren she deeply loved and cared for; brother, Larry (Kitty) Hinrichs; sister, Carol Berquist; and nieces and nephews.
