Donna Push

It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Donna Marie Push, who departed this life on May 8, 2025, at the age of 64 years and 10 months, with her husband by her side.

Born on July 2, 1960, in Berkeley, Missouri, to the late Donald and Annie Neff, Donna grew into a cherished partner, loyal friend, and a steady source of strength and kindness to everyone who knew her. She brought joy and warmth into the lives of those around her, offering unwavering love, support, and companionship through every season of life.

In 1977, she met Bill in Breckenridge Hills, and from that moment on, the two shared a deep bond and a journey filled with life’s joys and challenges. Their marriage stood as a testament to enduring love—marked by cherished memories, heartaches, trials, quiet strength, and profound devotion.

Donna began her career as a co-op student during her senior year at Ritenour Consolidated School District. She later worked at Homes for Living, the Federal Milk Market, and a software company called Energraphics. She ultimately found her long-term professional home with the Missouri National Guard, where she served as a civilian Real Property Manager for 25 years, retiring in April 2019.

Donna will be remembered for her loving and caring nature, as well as her deep affection for animals. She enjoyed cooking and barbecuing, quilting, gardening, walking, exercising, watching classic TMC and horror movies, and feeding hummingbirds each season—small joys that reflected her vibrant and nurturing spirit.

Donna is survived by her husband, William “Bill” Edgar Push; mother, Annie (the late Don) Neff; sister-in-law, Penny (the late Richard) Neff, one niece and two nephews who will continue to honor her memory and legacy. Though she is no longer by our side, her love remains forever in our hearts.

Memorials may be made in Donna's name to Humane Society for her love of dogs and all animals.
