1939 – 2016

LISBON FALLS — Donna Lee Kroken, 76, of Lisbon Falls died Monday, Oct. 31, due to complications of COPD and lung cancer.

Born on Nov. 10, 1939, at her grandparents’ farm on Main Street, Donna was a lifelong resident of Lisbon Falls. She attended school in Lisbon Falls, graduating from Lisbon High School in the Class of 1957.

She retired from the Masonite Corp. (formerly U.S. Gypsum) in 2003 after more than 30 years of employment with the company.

Donna was an avid candlepin bowler, and had the opportunity to represent her local Good Time Lanes at various locations around Maine when she was part of the Senior Travel League. Her team, Good Time Amazing, even competed at the state championships during the 2005-06 season. In addition to bowling, Donna was also very skilled at quilting; many of her beautiful creations were donated to raffles or fundraising events.

For the past eight years, Donna was the organizer of the Lisbon High School golden reunion, an event for all class alumni who had graduated from the school 50 plus years ago. While under her leadership, the reunions grew into large and well-attended events — she always was able to put together and organize a fun, well-managed get-together for all of the alumni.

Donna is survived by her daughter, Ann M. Kroken, VMD, of Greenwood, Del.; her sister, Patricia A. White of Lisbon Falls; her brother, Randall L. Kroken and his wife, Constance, of Lisbon Falls; her niece, Justine Fucci and her husband, Frank, of Lisbon Falls; and her beloved cat, Tillie Marie.

She was predeceased by an infant daughter, Marcia Lee.
