Donna L. Spickler, devoted to family

Donna L. Spickler, 77, of Dagsboro, died Sunday, March 12, 2023, at Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin, Md. She was born in Wheeling, W.Va., daughter of the late George Evans and Ada (Bonar) Evans. 

Donna had been a director at the Convention and Visitor's Bureau in Wheeling, W.Va., and Belmont County, Ohio. She also worked as office manager of Oglebay Park and the Good Zoo. Donna was a member of South Coastal Delaware AARP, AARP Choir, AARP Artisan Fair, Shore Dems and the 41st RD Democratic Club.

She is survived by her husband of 48 years, Theodore R. Spickler; her children, Tracy Cooper, Dena Timper, Rebecca Fiest, and Adrian Spickler and wife Christina Spickler; 11 grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.

She had a strong devotion to her family, friends and social causes. Some of these social causes included equality for all, women’s rights, climate change and helping anyone who needed it. Her extraordinary love and faith created relationships that made this world a better place.

There will be three celebrations of Donna's life at later dates in Delaware, West Virginia and Connecticut.
