Donna Baldock

Donna Jean Baldock, 67, it is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our "Tiger" on November 12, 2024. She was born on December 4, 1956, in Lincoln, Nebraska to Daniel and Donna Smith.

Tiger grew up and went to high school in Boise, Idaho. In 1987, while visiting her grandma Edna Gross in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin by chance she met the man of her dreams, Bradley Baldock, and moved there. Tiger and Brad were married on December 7th, 1991 at Immanual EV. Lutheran Church in Rapids and enjoyed 34 years together. 

In 1996, Tiger received an Associate Degree in Applied Science in Electrical Power Engineering from MSTC. Tiger followed that up with another degree in 1998 in Instrumentation Technology. Donna worked for Tri Star Photo, Consolidated Papers and Catalyst Paper. Tiger spent the next 30 years in Wisconsin Rapids until her retirement when she and Brad moved to Idaho to take care of Tiger's mother. In 2020 they moved back to Brad's hometown of Appleton, Wisconsin. In her younger years Tiger enjoyed bowling, volleyball and camping. She was a huge Packer fan and went to many games. 

Tiger is survived by her loving husband Bradley, children Tatisha Redd and Jeremiah Lutrell, sisters Darlyne Henke and Betty Pohl, brothers Daniel and Dave Smith. She is also survived by her stepsons Brian Baldock and Justin (Mayumi) Janicki, her grandchildren Eric, Kayla, Brady, Alyce, Quinn and Lennon. Tiger was preceded in death by her parents, sister Debra Smith and brother Kevin Witt.
