Donna M. Osborn, age 63 of Yankton, SD passed away on Sunday, April 16, 2023 unexpectedly at her residence. Donna was born November 1, 1959 in Yankton, South Dakota to Ralph and Sharon (Osborn) Mann. She attended Yankton Senior High School where she received her GED and fell for the love of her life Ozzie Osborn.

On the first of many adventures, they would share together, they were married on December 17, 1976 in Raleigh, North Carolina. From there, she was always up for any of Ozzie’s adventures if she could navigate and make sure nobody got hurt.

The oldest of five siblings, she knew she wanted a family and had three children, Kristina, Warren, and Matthew, and all their friends were treated, looked after and “minded” as family.  Always one for tradition, she made sure that we all got together regularly and often.

Donna was a consummate knitter and crocheter and took that kind of precision to all of her jobs.  Masking or shipping for Applied Engineering and most recently assembling for Vishay. Ensuring perfection in all things, was a trait she carried to her children; “If you are going to do something, do it right.”

Donna was preceded in death by Ozzie her parents and a sister Debrah as well as a niece Dyanne. She is survived by and will be missed by her children Kristina, Warren (Heidi) Mathew (Stephanie), siblings Deloris (Rich) Anderson, Darla (Dennis) Leyden, Darin Mann, Dawn (Terry) Williams, grandchildren, Keeley (Cauy) Davidson, Temperance, Titus, Kalista, and great grandchild, Remi and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
