Donna Elaine Huenefeld, 68, of Montgomery City Missouri, passed away at her home in Montgomery City on Friday, August 15, 2025, due to post cardiac surgery complications.

Donna was born on December 1, 1956 to parents Donald and Arilla Neidhardt of Hermann Missouri. She earned her GED in 1976 and her Associates in Secretarial Sciences from East Central College in Union Missouri in 1981.

She was married to Steven Ray Huenefeld on May 14,1977. Together, they had three children, Amanda, Marcus, and Megan and lived happily for almost 30 years in their home in the rural Loutre River valley south of Mineola Missouri before moving into Montgomery City in 2005. Donna is preceded in death by her parents and niece Tera Cruts and survived by her children, grandchildren, and sister Luanne Fowler.

Donna spent most of her working life as a public servant to Montgomery County. For seven years she was the assistant to the County Collector and in 2000 was elected as the Montgomery County Treasurer. She spent nearly two decades in that position and took great satisfaction and pride serving the residents of the county until her retirement in 2018.

In Donna's retired life, she took to her love and dedication as a confectionary artist. She was highly regarded for her cakes, cookies, and pies at get-togethers through local businesses, churches, and family gatherings. In 2019, she started the Krazy Kookie Lady LLC and spent years creating beautiful custom confectionary collections for people both locally and abroad, to include shipping hundreds of cookies overseas to be enjoyed by her son and his unit members while deployed with US armed forces.

Donna is survived by her three children, Amanda Elaine Bartley and husband Bradley (Mokane, MO), Marcus Richard Huenefeld and wife Michelle (Richlands, NC), and Megan Renee Strube and husband Jeremiah (New Florence, MO); and seven grandchildren, Westin Dale Strube, Rhett Joseph Strube, Ford William Strube, Jesse Rowena Strube, Rylee Brooks Bartley, Jacob Dillon Runion, and Madison Rae Runion.
