Donna Krouse

Donna Lee Krouse, 76, of Indiana, formerly of Ernest, passed away on Wednesday, August 17, 2022 at the Indiana Regional Medical Center after a long battle of illnesses.

The daughter of the late James L. and Helen Nellie (Moody) Schloder, she was born September 19, 1945 in Indiana.

Donna was formerly a member of the Ernest Bible Church.  She had been employed by McGill’s Car World where she thrived as a female car salesperson.  Donna had also been involved in the grocery business for many years in management.

Donna enjoyed spending time with her family and always encouraged them to “stay gold.” 

She is survived by a son, James Vernon (Jill) Holley of Indiana; three grandchildren, Jessica Holley-Clark and her husband Demetrius, Allisha Holley-Olechovski, and Tiffany Barker; three great grandchildren, Jade Olivia Barker, Drew Daniel Holley, and Demetrius “Bubba” Clark, Jr.; and numerous nephews and nieces.

In addition to her parents, Donna was preceded in death by two sons, Kenneth Robert Holley and Donald “Donnie” Gene Holley; one grandson, James Thomas “JT” Holley; three brothers, James Schloder, David Wayne Schloder, and Harry E. Schloder, Sr.; as well as a sister, Shirley Schloder.

Mrs. Donna Krouse will be remembered most by strength and willingness to continue on.  May her soul be as strong as her flesh and may she live eternally in peace.

Friends will be received on Saturday from 3 to 4 p.m. at the John A. Lefdahl Funeral Home.  A funeral service will immediately follow in the Lefdahl Chapel.

Interment in the Oakland Cemetery will be private.
