Donna Marie Shorkey
December 17, 1963 — June 11, 2018
Donna Marie Shorkey, of West Bloomfield, MI, passed away on Monday, June 11, 2018 at Henry Ford Hospital. She was only 54. She was born on December 17, 1963. She grew up in Fenton, MI, where she attended grade school. She went on to study nursing at Oakland Community College. In 1984 she married Thomas Shorkey, and together they had 3 children, Joseph, Jessica, and Nicholas. Donna worked in Commerce, MI, as a waitress at The Breakfast Club, treating the guests she served, as if they were family. She devoted herself to helping others in need, and had a special place in her heart for animals and children. In 2009 Donna established The Joseph Shorkey Memorial Foundation, and raised charitable donations through hosting annual Softball Tournaments and a Bowling Tournament. All the funds that were raised went on to help support pediatric palliative care for terminally ill and critically ill children. A one of a kind soul, Donna loved her family and friends unconditionally. Her fav orite place in the world to be was at home. In her quiet time, she enjoyed reading, staying in touch with relatives and friends on face book and making jewelry. She was particularly drawn to wire wrapping, using copper as her favorite medium. Donna is survived by her husband Tom, her children Nick and Jessica and her grandson Michael. A memorial service to celebrate the life of Donna will be held sometime later this year. The information will be posted prior to the event when plans have been definitively set. The family asks that in the meantime, if there are any stories or loving comments that her friends and extended family would like to share, please do not hesitate to post and or comment. During this time, hearing the impact that Donna had during her earthly life has been a privilege to her family.
