Share Obituary
Donn Elizabeth Walker Munz, 43, of Warrington, PA and formerly of St. Marys, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, October 29, 2021.
She was born March 14, 1978, in DuBois, PA, daughter of Beverly Delozier Walker and the late Donald Walker, who preceded her in death on June 2, 2006. Donn grew up in St. Marys, was a graduate of Elk County Christian High School, Class of 1996 and was a graduate of Duquesne University.
On June 12, 2010, Donn married Miles Munz.
In addition to her mother and husband, Donn is survived by her daughters: Neve Elizabeth and Elle Rebekah, both at home; two sisters: Jennifer Brauser (Greg) of State College and Jackie Walker of Morgantown, WV; two nephews: Ben and Ethan Brauser of State College; her maternal grandmother: Jean Dunkelberger; her mother and father-in-law: Gail and Gary Munz; and by her brother-in-law: Bryce Munz.
In addition to her father, she was preceded in death by her paternal grandmother, Orma Walker.
Donn was a wife, daughter, sister, friend, but above all, a mother. She would always put her girls first in her life and taught them, by example, how to love unconditionally. Donn was ambitious, thoughtful, creative, intuitive, loving, honest, and fiercely loyal. Donn was a gentle soul and looked for the beauty and good in everything and everyone. She has always had the ability to find peace within music, lyrics, and quotes. “May the four winds blow you safely home”.
There will be no visitation.
Family and friends are invited to attend a Mass of Christian Burial which will be held in the Sacred Heart Church on Friday, November 5, 2021 at 11:00 AM with Rev. Matthew Laffey, OSB, officiating. Burial will follow in St. Mark’s Catholic Cemetery in Emporium.

Events
I am deeply saddened to learn of Donn’s passing. I know she leaves behind family and friends that will miss her. I am so very sorry for your loss.
I knew Donn through work, she was always so happy and she beamed when talking about Neve and Elle. I saw her as a rep for my rheumatologist office and a friend. She will be missed. I’m so sorry to hear about her passing. Prayers for Miles and her beautiful girls.
The most gentle human being full of love and complete acceptance for everyone. She inspired me as a mother, woman and a professional in so many ways. Her devotion to her children and family was so deep and pure, which I took inspiration from. She has touched our lives in the most special way and will be cherished forever. Our heart and prayers go out to Donn’s family and daughters.
We are so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you all and praying for peace and comfort in God’s loving arms.
Donn was as genuine and gentle a person as anyone that I have ever known. Her love for her girls, family, and friends was evident to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. She will be deeply missed by so many. Praying for her beautiful daughters and for her family.
I struggle to come up with the correct words to express my sympathy, I hope there may be some comfort knowing so many are thinking of Donn’s family and friends and we will be thinking of you all for a long time to come.
So sorry to hear about Donn passing. There are many memories I have of us when we were growing up. I remember playing house with her amazing baby dolls, playing with the kittens on the farm, or making prank phone calls. What I learned about Donn when we were young was she was going to be a great mom one day. She was a good person and friend. May the memories you share bring comfort to you. Thinking of all of you and keeping you in my prayers.
My heart is broken at the loss of this beautiful soul. She was truly one of the kindest, most loving and accepting people I knew. Her heart was pure gold and it showed in so many ways. My deepest sympathies to her family, her mother and sisters, Miles and those beautiful girls. You are all in my heart and prayers.
Love and prayers go out to all of Donn’s family and friends. I am heartbroken that the world has lost such a beautiful soul. Donn was a passionate, fierce, genuine, loving, and a loyal friend. Her kindness was sincere but she would go to battle for those she loved and I can tell you that personally, she rallied for me. Her silly laugh that changed into a nerdy guffaw rings in my ears and was infectious. Her beauty and heart will live on in her daughters.
Our sincere condolences to all of the Brauser, Walker and Munz families. We love you guys and have made a donation to the Jana Marie Foundation in memory of Donn.
Jackie and Jennifer, I’m so sorry for your loss. Donn was a lovely person, and she will be greatly missed. My heart breaks for all of you, but especially her girls. Sending our condolences and prayers to the entire Munz and Walker family.
Sending prayers and strength to all! Our hearts and strength go out to your family. It’s been a while since we saw each other but we chatted a bit online most recently about what products we used for our curly hair. When one of us found a new product that worked we would share it and get so excited! I extend my sympathies to Miles, Neve, Elle, Bev, and to every family member. Prayers, strength, and love to all… God Bless Donn and everyone in her circle.
There are just no words that do justice in describing the loss of such a beautiful, gentle, compassionate, and loving person Donn was. She will forever be remembered by all who knew her for her unwavering love of her beautiful daughters and family. She was a loyal friend to myself and so many, and will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are flooding the gates of heaven, for all those who loved her.
My deepest condolences to Donn’s family and friends. During our school years, I knew that she was someone whose kindness and gentleness extended to everyone regardless of who they were or who they were not (or whether they even took good notes in class that day). May your memories of Donn and the time that you shared together bring you solace in this difficult time.
There are no words to convey our sorrow for your families’ loss. What we do have are the memories of being neighbors and watching our children grow and become wonderful successful adults. “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal”
Donn was a beautiful person, inside and out. I am truly saddened to hear the news. My prayers and condolences to her family, especially her beautiful girls. Sending love and strength.
Sending prayers of peace and healing to Donn’s family. Such a beautiful soul, so kind and loving, gone way too soon. Though it’s been many years since I’ve seen Donn, I’ve thought of her often. So many childhood memories. May the Lord keep a protective embrace over your daughters. Rest easy sweet Donn.
A stunning beauty who carried herself with grace, humility, kindness and a warmth to her that would make you immediately like her…which is exactly how I felt the first time I met her. Though our paths didn’t cross often, I enjoyed watching her share pictures and stories about her girls via Facebook…there was NO QUESTION how much she adored her girls and having a family. I last spoke with her this past spring and her passion for motherhood and her fierce love for her family was the entire focus of our conversation. She will be remembered as someone who loved BIG and deeply.
Donn is forever etched in my mind “giving her all” as a high school student and athlete. Then, quickly offering her beautiful smile captured so well in this picture. Sincere condolences to her loving family along with prayerful support.
An amazing mother who loved her girls more than words could say. Her beautiful daughters will miss their mother. Prayers go out to Neve and Elle Munz that the memory of their beautiful mother will always remain in their hearts.
Our hearts go out to you and your family, We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers,
Gina Minard Caton and Mary Dolan OKeefe

Donn was a beautiful woman inside and out, she loved her family and her friends. I watched her grow up with a great group of girls who always stood at each other’s sides. You will be missed dearly girl by all. Your husband and daughters will always remember how intensely you loved them. Your Mom and sisters will always miss you. Our deepest condolences Bill and Cyndi Werner
This was heart-breaking news and my condolences to Miles, Neve and Elle. Donn was a dedicated hard worker who always kept the needs of others before her own. She was intelligent and a consultant to many of her peers in the work environment. I know her family meant the world to her and being a “mommy” and wife was her favorite role of all! She will be missed by many and her effervescent personality will live on in her girls. My prayers are with all who feel the loss of Donn’s presence.
Words cannot express how saddened I am at the loss of our dear friend Donn. I watched her grow from a young girl in school to a beautiful woman. Her laugh, smile, and her beauty matched her personality. Donn will always have a place in my heart. I’m sure she is greeting everyone in heaven with the love she showed to all here on earth. Rest In Peace Donn. You will be sorely missed. Prayers for your family.
