Donna Lea Raykos Obituary Donna Lea Raykos, age 64 of Whitehall, passed peacefully surrounded by her loving family on July 10th. 2024. She was the daughter of Beverly (Sandt) Bast and the late Donald Bast. Donna was the cherished wife of Bruce Raykos for 43 years. Together they started from a mobile home. She didn't like her husband's bachelor pad so they bought a grass field lot and together built a home. The house was filled with life, love, laughter, and enduring memories. She was a devoted mother to her children, Dorina Kaplan and her husband Justin, Brandon Raykos, and Benjamin Raykos. Donna took immense pride in her family and found her greatest joy in the moments she spent with them. She was a loving sister to Diane Gee and Dolores Feathermen. She was also a grandmother to Mia, Isabelle, and Caleb. Donna's presence was a beacon of light in the lives of her family members. Her guidance and affection will be deeply missed. Donna grew up in a warm and nurturing environment that shaped her into the compassionate and caring individual we all know. A graduate of Emmaus High School, Donna's work ethic and dedication were evident throughout her career. She held various positions, including working as an accountant at BSI and contributing her skills to local businesses such as Bon-Ton and Kmart. Most recently, Donna brought her warmth and kindness to the Whitehall Middle School cafeteria, where she was a familiar and friendly face to staff and students alike. Donna's interests and hobbies were a reflection of her love for the simple pleasures in life. She was an avid watcher of the soap General Hospital, and she could often be found engrossed in a puzzle or word search. Her passion for cats was well-known, and she cherished the time spent with her family. She was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church in Emmaus. Donna's legacy is one of unwavering love, selfless care, and the joy she brought to every life she touched. Her memory will be treasured and kept alive in the hearts of those who loved her.
