Donna P. Witikka, 74, of Peoria, AZ, passed away at home on September 13, 2021. She was born in Moline, IL on October 8, 1946, to the late Irving and Virginia Livingston. She is survived by all five of her sisters: Jackie Pickus, Jill Newman, Ruth Dady, Elizabeth Hogan, and her identical twin sister Diane Sheptak. Donna loved to tell stories about her childhood and had many fond memories of growing up with so many sisters and of being a twin. All six sisters were and are very close, and when they would all get together, you could see and feel the love they had for one another and could not help but notice the similarities they all shared.

Donna became a mother and a grandmother. She had three children: Robin Witikka, Scott (Rebecca) Witikka, and Heidi Witikka, and one grandson Declan Witikka. She was loving, caring, and very understanding, and took great pride in being a mother and a grandmother.

Donna graduated from Waukegan High School in 1964 and attended Eastern Illinois University.

Donna liked working. She especially enjoyed her seventeen years as Administrative Assistant for the Learning Opportunities Program and the School of Education at Barat College in Lake Forest, IL. Her excellent listening skills and endless energy made her a perfect fit for that department.

Donna lived in Waukegan, IL and Gurnee, IL most of her life before deciding to pack up her bags and head west to enjoy the sunshine in Arizona. (She like to recall that the family would winter there when she was a child.) One of her favorite ways to spend her free time was to lay out by the pool and swim, and there was no better place to do that than Ventana Lakes in Peoria, Arizona. She treasured the many friends she made there. Donna liked to play bunko and bridge, Mexican Train, and to teach exercise class. She was always on the go and loved to stay busy. This earned her the nickname “Bunny” because she always said she was the human version of the energizer bunny. Donna was also an avid Arizona Cardinals fan, and her favorite chant on Sunday was “Go, Go, Go Cardinals!”

A Celebration of Life for Donna will be held at 2:00pm, Saturday, November 6, 2021, at Ventana Lakes, in the Lakeside Clubhouse room located at 20245 N. 106th Ave. Peoria, Arizona 85382.

Edward B. Fey, 78, of Lindenhurst passed away peacefully on October 1, 2021. He was born on April 15, 1943, in Peoria, IL to the late Leslie and Bernice (Berry) Fey. Ed was the beloved husband of Katrina (Gegenheimer), dear brother to the late James (Nancy) Fey, loving father to Barry, Kristin (Brian) Smith, Nathan, and Melissa (Scott) DeBoor, proud grandpa to Sofia and Courtney, and fond uncle of Mandy (Steve Trapani), and the late Kim Fey.

Ed was raised in Bloomington, IL and graduated from Trinity (Central Catholic) High School in 1961. He attended Illinois State University on a golf scholarship and was honored to be a team captain. He earned his B.S. in Mathematics in 1966 and started his teaching career in Beecher, IL. Ed moved to the Lake County area and continued teaching math and coaching golf at North Chicago Community High School for the next 30 years. He earned his M.S. in Mathematics from the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1975 and taught nights and summers at the College of Lake County.

Ed was a scratch golfer who beat the course record at Highland Park Golf Course (Bloomington, IL) in 1973 and had two hole-in-ones: Hole #11 at Steeple Chase Golf Club and Hole #4 at Brighton Dale Links.

Ed made a mean zucchini bread, awesome Sunday breakfasts, and the most delicious burgers. He loved animals including his dogs Pal, Cleo, Ally, and Fridge, his cat Missy, and some squirrels that started hanging around his door in the past few years for some reason (certainly not due to any crackers that may have been left on the porch). He also enjoyed fishing, gardening, and shooting pool. Ed loved traveling across America with his wife and visiting the national parks to see his daughter with his lifelong friends Craig Reuse and the late James Clancy.

He was the rock of our family and will be greatly missed.
