Donna F. Welborn

Donna Welborn, 78, of Harrisburg, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, at Arden Courts. Born on December 2, 1946 in Harrisburg, she was the daughter of the late Donald T. and Anna M. (Ponti) Welborn, both of whom were Navy Veterans.

Donna graduated from Bishop McDevitt High School in 1964 and went on to receive certification from Dr. Bloom’s School of Medical Arts.

She was a member, Choir Director, and organist at the former St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Church, Steelton and later one of the organists for Prince of Peace Roman Catholic Parish, Steelton. Donna had a passion for music and loved playing and listening to hymns. She was a member of the Steelton Italian Club, where she enjoyed participating in their social events. As an avid gardener, her flower bed was devoted to the Blessed Mother statue that had been passed down to her from her mother.

Donna is survived by her twin sister, Elizabeth Welborn; her son Mark Pattison; and stepson, Cory Gelnett, as well as many beloved aunts, uncles, and cousins.
