Fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church on Sunday December 25, 2022. Beloved wife of Edward V. Donze for 48 years. Dearest mother of Matthew (Jodie) and Adam (Katie) Donze. Loving grandmother of Madison, Emma and Claire Donze. Dear sister of Dennis (the late Rhonda) Cox and Patti (Tom) Tobin. Our dear sister-in-law, aunt, cousin, teacher and friend to many.
Services: Memorial visitation at Kutis South County Chapel (5255 Lemay Ferry) on Friday January 6, from 4-8PM. Memorial mass at Queen of All Saints Catholic Church Saturday January 7th at 10AM. In lieu of flowers memorials to Spina Bifida of St. Louis https://www.sbstl.org/donations appreciated.
Mrs. Donze was my 1st grade teacher at Rogers Elementary along. My older brothers had her as a teacher too, so our family knew her for many years. She made me feel loved like no other teacher had. I LOVED going into school everyday knowing I’d be greeted by a hug and the name sugar bear called my way. She will be missed dearly.
Bobbi was one of the sweetest girls I remember from Doe Run. You all have my deepest condolences.
Bobbi was one of my dear childhood friends. We went to school together and have known each other since 3rd grade. We lived only a few houses away from each other & played for hours with jewelry that one of her aunt’s had discarded & given to her for play. We developed a life long friendship & kept in touch over the years, visiting when possible, and texting pics of our grandchildren as they were growing up.
To Ed, Matt & Adam I send my deepest heart felt sympathies for the loss of your wife & mother. To Denny & Patty I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your dear sister.
I will miss you Bobbi and you will forever be in my heart. ❤

Met Bobbi in high school. We played on the volleyball team and became great friends. Her smile was amazing. When we would get together sometimes years apart but we just seemed to pick up where we left off. My prayer for Denny, Patti, Ed and the kids is that the sadness in your heart be replaced with all the wonderful memories you shared. Claudia Varvera.
I grew up with Bobbi in Doe Run. I have so many fond memories of her. I could never understand how she always looked perfect. Her hair and clothes were always in place.
Most of all I remember her kindness!
My deepest sympathy to Denny and Patty.
Bobbi was truly a SWEETHEART!
Bobbi was an Angel on earth. Two of my children had her as a first grade teacher. They adored her and loved being called Sugar Bear as did the other children in class. I was also friends with her father through my job, and he was as kind as her and he was so proud of her. Bobbi was so genuine and caring to people. After my daughter graduated from high school we went to visit her. I am so happy we had that time to spend with her. She will be missed.
Bobbi was our Cousin, and though time and miles separated us, love was the glue that bound. She was the dearest, sweetest person and greatly admired by her West Coast Cousins. There is no doubt that she impacted many young lives for the better and left a beautiful legacy. To Ed, Adam, Matt and all your families.. To Denny, Patti and your families, we offer our deepest condolences and prayers.. We share in your loss ❤️
Ed and family-Dennis-Patti and family. Sorry to hear of your loss. I grew up in Doe Run with Bobbi and knew her family well. The lives she touched in teaching can not be measured
My deepest sympathies go out to Bobbi’s family. She was a dear friend I met at MAC! I was a bridesmaid in their wedding. I remember we were wearing platform sandals and genuflecting was very difficult! What an angel God sent to the earth! Condolences to her family and friends! Chris Sutton Kerns
Bobbie and I were classmates at high school and MAC. She was so kind, sincere, and genuine. My prayer for Eddie and all the family is our Heavenly Father would give you His peace, comfort, and joy knowing Bobbie is with her Lord Jesus in heaven.
Bobbi was a colleague of mine at Point Elementary School. She was a loving teacher who students adored. Whenever I would see Bobbi in the halls, I was met with this wonderful smile and great laugh. Bobbi was so kind and thoughtful to everyone, which was truly genuine. Bobbi will be missed by all!
Thoughts and prayers to her family in this very difficult time .
Sincerely,
Jennifer D. Snider (Robben)
Went to school with Bobbi in Doe Run and later in Farmington. She was a kind, caring person. I’m sure she touched many lives. My condolences to her family.
Bobbi was my Cousin. We didn’t live close to each other but I thought of her often. She was a sweetheart, very kind and had a loving heart. I will miss her. My heartfelt sympathy to her family.
