COLUMBUS--Donna C. (Mulligan) Hendricks of Columbus–a true matriarch, loving mother and doting grandmother-went to heaven on Sunday, October 18, 2020 at the age of 84.

Donna was born in Columbus, WI to Edwin and Doris (Lang) Mulligan on August 17, 1936. She Graduated from Columbus High School in 1954. She was married to Dale "Lucky" Hendricks on December 7, 1957. She exemplified all things beautiful, genuine and valued in this life.

She was a devoted parishioner of St. Jerome's Catholic Church, a treasured member of the community of Columbus and known for her kind heartedness. Donna was a dedicated employee of the Hughes Co. in Columbus for 32 years. While semi-retired, she then worked at the Columbus Antiques Mall for 10 years. She passed her exemplary work ethic down to her five children.
