On Saturday, April 27, 2024, Donna Mae (Meyer) Flood, age 87, passed away unexpectedly at her home
in Kiel.
Donna was born on July 17, 1936, in Plymouth, WI. She was the daughter of the late Clara (Blanke) and
Milton Meyer. She attended Plymouth Grade and High School’s, graduating in 1954. Donna was also a
Marquette University graduate, earning a Dental Hygiene degree with the class of 1956.
Donna was joined in marriage to Jerry Flood on November 29, 1958, at St. John the Baptist Catholic
Church in Plymouth, where they remained members. She and her husband lived in Plymouth all their
lives.
Donna worked as a dental hygienist for 43 years in Madison, Sheboygan and Plymouth. She worked for
26 years with Dr. Harold Schmidt until his retirement; and continued to work with several other dentists
until her retirement in 1999. She and her husband enjoyed traveling and spent several winters in Mesa,
AZ. In her younger years, Donna was fond of indoor roller skating, snow skiing, blackjack and Engelbert
Humperdink. She was an avid reader and enjoyed playing dominos with family and friends. Most
recently, casino excursions with her companion, Lanny, were a highlight. She dearly loved being with
her children and grandchildren. She will be “Oma” forever!
Donna was preceded in death by her husband Jerry and parents; brother-in-law Warren Schmidt;
brother-in-law John (and Colette) Flood.
She is survived by her son Scott (Lesa) Flood of Plymouth, daughter Lori Zastrow of Stockton, California;

special person in her life, Lanny Weiskopf, and his wonderful children and grandchildren that showed
her so much love over the last several years. Donna will be dearly missed by her family, friends, and
fellow patrons of the Kiel Lounge.
