FAIRMONT — A graveside service for Donna Mae Miller Applen, age 85, of Sacramento, Calif., formerly of Fairmont, Minn., will be held 4 p.m. Friday, July 6, 2018, at Calvary Cemetery in Fairmont.
Please join the family following the graveside service for a celebration of Donna’s life and laughter at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Fairmont. Prayers are welcome, but no gifts please. You are advised to pay it forward to someone you love in Donna’s memory.
A memorial mass will be held 10 a.m. Saturday, July 7, 2018, at St. John Vianney Catholic Church in Fairmont.
Donna passed away peacefully Wednesday, May 9, 2018, in Sacramento, Calif., after a long battle with memory difficulties.
Lakeview Funeral Home and Cremation Service of Fairmont is assisting the family with arrangements.
Donna was born Nov. 12, 1932, in rural Mankato, Minn., to the late Alfred Miller and Elizabeth Vogel Miller. She was a proud graduate of Good Council Academy in Mankato, Minn.
Soon after high school, she met and married Myron Applen, the love of her life. They moved to Fairmont in 1952 so Myron could continue his occupation as a cabinetmaker.
Donna was a very active member of St. John Vianney Catholic Church during her 60 years in Fairmont. She also loved playing bridge, going on dancing dates with Myron, coffee with her friends, chatting with her neighbors, socializing with many Fairmont residents and any opportunity to spend time with her loving family.
Donna is survived by sons, Michael (Char) Applen of Phoenix, Ariz., and Stephen (Kimberly) Applen of Charleston, S.C.; daughters, Janee (Mike) Przybyl of Savannah, Ga., and Mary Applen of Citrus Heights, Calif.; grandchildren, Lyndsay and Ann Przybyl, Laura and Shannon Temple, Gregory and Rebecca Applen; great-granddaughter, Desiree Temple; several nieces, nephews, cousins, other extended family and friends.
