Donna A. Zeller, 78, of Myerstown, passed away on Monday, Sept. 14, 2026, at WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital. She was the loving wife of Brian L. Zeller, with whom she would have celebrated a 50th wedding anniversary in November.
Donna was born in Lebanon on June 10, 1948, a daughter of the late Donald and Marguerite (Bowman) Lasch. Donna was a graduate of Annville-Cleona High School and Shippensburg University. She was a retired elementary teacher in the Lebanon School District with 35 years of service. She also served as a counselor for several years in the district.
Donna was a member of the former Christ Presbyterian Church and attended Myerstown UCC. She loved to read and cross-stitch and was a profound genealogist who was able to trace both her and Brian’s family history back many generations. She and Brian were members of many historical organizations, and Donna had a particular interest in the Civil War period.
In addition to her husband, Donna is survived by her daughter, Emily E. Zeller; and sister, Patricia, wife of David Patton.
