On Thursday August 23, 2018 Donna Jean Zelahy, loving wife and mother of two children, passed away at age 72 from rheumatoid arthritis complications.
Born in Pittsburgh, PA on May 9, 1946, she is survived by her husband of over 50 years John Zelahy, her son John Zelahy Jr. (wife Juli and their sons: Jake and Jesse), and her daughter Krista Short (husband Craig).
An incredibly supportive wife and mother, Donna championed her family’s many moves throughout her life that sent them all over the world. She was a warm and loving woman who formed special and lasting friendships wherever she went. Her passion was to volunteer for the the Arthritis Foundation where she helped to coordinate special events such as the Jingle Bell Run and other activities to raise awareness of the condition. Donna loved spending time with her family and enjoyed her weekly yoga classes. She’ll truly be missed by her family and friends.
A memorial service will be held on Sunday September 16th from 11am-1pm at the Zelahy home: 207 Woods Road, Greer, SC 29650.
In lieu of flowers, a contribution to the Arthritis Foundation would be appreciated.
