Donna Dinard 1946-2025

She was born in Seattle, Washington, the first of five children to Robert and Margaret Baytos Bletso.

Donna was a 1964 graduate of Jackson-Milton High School.

She retired from Packard Electric after 35 years, and to keep herself busy she worked at a tax service office for several years.

She loved spending time with family and friends and was always traveling as much as she could. She also shared many years with her boyfriend, Tom Pavelko, traveling to various states and going on road trips on the Harley.

Donna is survived by her three children, Lori (Jason) Whipkey, Kelly (Mark) Wells and Michael (Rachael) Dinard. She has 12 beautiful grandchildren, Bradley, Nathan (Jessica), Sierra (Tommy), Autumn, Sydney, Josie, Hannah, McKenna, Dominic, Johnny, Julianna and Landon. She also has three great-grandchildren, Aviela, Kaydence and Cayson, with another one on the way, Colter. She is also survived by her four siblings, Jennifer (Raymond) Grope, Vickie (Michael Chiorazzi) Bletso, Robert (Barbara) Bletso and Kimberly Rice.

A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Carl W. Hall Funeral Home has been entrusted with her arrangements.
