Donna Lee Corbett, 75, died Monday June 20th, 2022, at White Oaks of Huntley, Illinois. She was a loving Wife, Mother, and Grandmother. Donna was born on October 11th, 1945, in Lyons, Illinois, the daughter of Vernon and Dorothy (nee Turner) Zielke. Donna was at one time a Bell Telephone operator and a retail specialist in the children's department at Marshall Field's where she met many life-long friends. She finished her working years as a customer service representative at Williams-Manny for almost two decades, and again enjoyed a large group of co-working friends. Prior to her brief move to Huntley, Donna had been a resident of Rockford, Illinois for over 40 years. Donna loved her pool, her flowers, and her backyard squirrels as she fed them peanuts in the winter. She enjoyed dancing, and was always more concerned about doing something for others than having something done for her. Donna is survived by her sons Brian (Erin) Hayes of Dundee, Illinois, and David (Sarah) Hayes of Louisville, Kentucky. Stepdaughter Jennifer (Chuck) Zaluckyj of Belvidere, Illinois; step-grandchildren Olivia and Hayden whom she loved so very much; stepbrother in-law Joe (Lynne) Corbett of Phoenix, Arizona; cousins that were like sisters and great friends in Joy Berberek and Linda Fields of San Antonio, Texas, sister Janet (Rick) Stafford of Lyons, Illinois, and very special friend Nancy (Charles) Geringer of Rockford, Illinois. She was preceded in death by her parents. The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to White Oaks of Huntley for their professional and kind care during this difficult time.
