Donna Faye Panger, 88, of Cloquet passed away June 19, 2022, joining her beloved husband, Gale “Pickles” Panger, who passed away in 2012.

The daughter of John and Dorothy (Wolfe) Huard, Donna was born Nov. 26, 1933, and was a graduate of Cloquet High School. She was a member of Queen of Peace Catholic Parish.

Donna is survived by her five sons, Ross, Tim, Paul, John (Michelle) and Steve (Robyn); three daughters, Gayla, (Hans), Trish (Bill) and Ann Panger; nine grandchildren, Leah and Kyle Raaflaub, Michael and Matthew Panger, Ryan Miller, Emma and Alex Panger, and Sam and Sophia Panger; and one great-granddaughter, Maddisen Panger.

If asked, Donna would tell you her greatest accomplishment was the cherished time spent with her husband Gale, raising her eight children, and loving every moment spent with her grandchildren. There was nothing that meant more to her.

Visitation: 9 a.m. until the 11 a.m. Memorial Mass Tuesday, June 28 at Queen of Peace Catholic Church. A lunch reception will follow in the Church parish hall.
