Donna Lynn Ferguson, age 69, was born August 26, 1953, in Richmond, Va. She tragically and suddenly passed away with her brother, Wilson Ferguson, in a car accident in Three Lakes, on Feb. 21, 2023.

Although, she lived in Virginia during her childhood, Donna discovered her love for Wisconsin in her teens, where she spent her summers at her grandparents, and waitressed at the Chicken-in-the-Woods restaurant, which was operated by her grandparents.

Donna lived much of her adult life in Three Lakes, where she spent many years performing with Skip Wagner, providing hospitality services, and karaoke entertainment at the Oneida Village Inn, until it burned down in 2019. Since then, she has shared her skills and talents with other local establishments. Donna also served for many years as an event planner for a consulting company, which satisfied her love for traveling the world. She was lucky enough to visit many countries.
