Donna Webster Obituary

Donna Stewart Webster, 64, of Fort Wayne, passed away on June 22, 2025, Born September 12, 1960 in Maplewood, New Jersey, Donna devoted her life to caring for others-both professionally and personally. A dedicated physical therapist for over 30 years, Donna touched countless lives with her compassion, strength and unwavering kindness. But her greatest joy was found in her family. She was a devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, and cherished grandmother. Donna is survived by her mother, Doris K. Stewart; her brother, Thomas Stewart; and her sister Cynthia (Stephen) Simon. She leaves behind beloved children: Sara (Jose Quintana) Epple; Liz (Dan) Anderson; Andrew (Victoria) Webster; Thomas (Grace) Webster; and stepson, Richard (Annette) Webster. She was the adored grandmother of 15 grandchildren who affectionately knew her as "Nanny." She was preceded in death by her father; Thomas J Stewart III and her beloved husband; Curt Webster. A Gathering and Celebration of Donna's Life will be 2 pm to 4 pm and 6 pm to 8 pm on Thursday, June 26, 2025 at FairHaven Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 6557 N. Clinton Street. Donna will be remembered by the love she poured into her family, the lives she helped heal, and the warmth she brought into every room. We love you so much, more and more and more, a google, and to infinity and beyond.

I had the honor of working with Donna while we were both physical therapist staff members at St. Joseph Hospital, assumably in the 1980s. I recall that she had a great laugh and was devoted to her patients.

Our sympathies and prayers in the death of your dear mother and friend. I knew her from Franke Park School when all 4 of you were students there. She also was a kind PT when I needed that help. Great memories. Your teacher, friend, along with my husband.

No doubt I could use all allotted characters in this space to describe the impact Donna Stewart Webster had on my and my family´s lives; and it would only be a beginning. I worked alongside Donna as a Physical Therapist more or less from my first job as a new grad until she retired. She was a gifted PT with the title "Healer" deeply embedded in her nature. She was a wonderful mentor to me in my first years in the profession, with our working relationship burgeoning into collaborative, as well as deep friendship. We worked together, were each other´s sounding boards in figuring out challenging patients, became the best of friends, and raised our kids together. Her enduring loyalty and sheer kindness is unmatched amongst my friends and family. But I think what I will miss the most is her profound sense of humor. She loved to laugh, and seldom was at a loss for reasons to do it. I have countless, priceless memories of us laughing until we cried, until our bellies hurt, tears were streaming down our faces, and we were gasping for breath, about any and everything! So many times... Good night, my dearest friend and sister. I will be looking for you to welcome me to heaven when it´s my turn.
