Sartell
Aug. 29, 1930-June 29, 2025
Donna Mae (Supan) Traut, 94, of Sartell, died surrounded by her family on June 29. Her funeral was July 3, at St. Francis Xavier Church, Sartell. The Rev. Ron Weyrens officiated and burial was in the parish cemetery.
Traut was born Aug. 29, 1930, to John and Agnes (Schumer) Supan. She married Firmin Isadore Traut on June 30, 1949, at St. Stephen Catholic Church.
Traut’s life was one of unwavering service to her church and family. As a charter member of St. Francis Xavier Church she was involved in many aspects: Christian Women; religious education; prayer line; Befrienders; Rosary, quilting and mission groups; funeral lunch coordinator and volunteer; and was willing to help out wherever she was needed. Her hugs and caring smiles in the lunch line will be remembered by the many students of St. Francis Xavier School. Her family will cherish the memories they have of her as a supportive partner to their dad on the farm, in the garden, fishing, baking, sewing, traveling, and feeding birds and wildlife. Her family will also remember the strength and grace with which she handled her daily life and losses with prayerful faith.
Survivors include her brother George and his wife Kathy Supan and sister-in-law Ruth Supan; her children and their families: Lloyd and Mary Ann (Prom) Traut of Sartell and daughter Sally; the children of Mary Lee Traut: Mario (Lisa) Provencher, Lauri (Jeremy) Miller and Lonnie (Katie) Provencher; Marilyn and Peter Rasmussen of Eden Prairie and daughters Raeleen (Rob) Fandrich and Kaela (Matt) Martin; Marla and Joseph Lahr of Sartell and sons Nathan and Jonathan; Roys and Mary (Barron) Traut of Sartell and sons Matthew (Stephanie) and Rory; and Cheryl and Dennis Freihammer of Sartell and children Eric (Audrey) and Alicia (Brandon) Hinnenkamp; 23 great-grandchildren along with an awaited great-granddaughter.
She was preceded in death by her parents John and Agnes (Schumer) Supan; husband, Firmin; her infant son Roger; her daughter Mary Lee Traut; and grandson Samuel Traut; siblings Pat (Ardo) Wrobel, Ben (Alice) Supan, LeRoy Supan, Katherine (Edgar) Traut.
