Joanne N. (Zyga) Fetkenhour, 88, of Donora, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, at her home on Monday, January 19, 2026. Born in West Newton on November 14, 1937, to Joseph and Ella (Perfetto) Zyga, she was preceded in death by her husband, Col. Gordon K. Fetkenhour.

A member of Restoration Fellowship Church in Monongahela, she was a devout woman of faith and a vigilant prayer warrior. She loved homemade gnocchi and collard greens, shopping at Talbots and Coldwater Creek, and spending time with her family. She enjoyed bright summer days, letting the dogs sit on her couches (but not allowing anyone to eat on them), and balancing her checkbook.

Surviving to cherish her memory are her three children, David (Debra) Fetkenhour of Beaverdam, VA; Daniel (Samantha) Fetkenhour of Hudsonville, MI; and Rachel (Timothy) Downie of Bethel Park; grandchildren, Holly (Brian) Evans, April Price, Lauren and Grace Fetkenhour, Noah, Zoe, Luke, and Ava Downie, and TJ, Connor, Summer, and Sway Kasack; and great-grandchildren, Aiden, Brody, Chloe, Wyatt, and Ethan Evans, and Jordan, Nicole, and Desmond Price.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the ANTHONY L. MASSAFRA FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATION SERVICE INC., 40 Second St. Ext., Carroll Township/Donora, PA 15033, (724) 379-6900, where the family will receive friends on Sunday, February 1, 2026 from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Joanne will be laid to rest with her husband at Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, VA.
