Donna Pappas, 86, passed away October 19, in her home surrounded by loved ones. A lifelong resident of Akron, she was the youngest of seven.
Donna was an avid golfer and accomplished bowler. She was inducted into the Tri-County Bowler's Hall of Fame in 1996, and also held a US Patent. Her recent accomplishments include winning 5 gold medals in the National Senior Olympic Games.
Donna was involved with many charities and fundraisers within the community. More recently, she enjoyed working in her garden, being with family, and continuing to be active.
