Donita Joann Hebeeb, born February 1, 1947, in Allegan, Michigan, passed away peacefully on March 10, 2026, surrounded by her two daughters.

Donita built a beautiful life grounded in love, family, meaningful work, and the simple joys she shared with those closest to her. She devoted many years to her career in Accounts Payable, first at Rockwell and later retiring from Parker Hannifin, where she was appreciated for her dedication, reliability, and strong work ethic. 

She is survived by her daughters, Shannon (Scott) Hoag and Shelly (Dave) Moorian; her grandchildren, Max Moorian, Kathryn Moorian, Charlie Hoag, and Sam Hoag; and her beloved cat, Lucy. She is also survived by her siblings, Kevin (Ellie) Burke and Wendy (Gary) Churchill, as well as her sisters‑in‑law, Gail Burke and Joan Burke.

Donita cherished spending time with her daughters—enjoying casino trips and shared laughter with Shelly, and shopping trips and dinners with Shannon. Some of her happiest moments were watching her grandsons, Charlie and Sam, play lacrosse and hockey. She loved movie nights with Max, and treasured the special shopping trips she shared with Kathryn.

She enjoyed spending time with friends and had a deep love for animals. Donita was known for her generous heart—she was famous for always overtipping, even at drive‑thrus, a small but meaningful reflection of her kindness and desire to brighten someone’s day. 

She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Rudy Hebeeb; her parents, Glenadean and Howard Burke; and her brothers, Terry Burke and Gay Burke.

Known for her compassion, resilience, and graceful presence, Donita leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion. Her family will forever remember her warmth, her laughter, and the way she made every moment together meaningful. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
