A memorial service will be held 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20, 2025, at Christ Lutheran Church, Marshfield, with visitation from 11 a.m. until the time of the service. Rev. Andrew Belt will officiate.

Dona was born on Dec. 9, 1931, on the home farm in the town of Sherwood, Clark County, to Oscar C. and Alta L. (Stevens) Lindekugel. She attended Loyal schools, graduating in 1949. Dona met Gene Lucht on a blind date arranged by his cousin, Alan Voigt. They would later be united in marriage on Aug. 11, 1951, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Loyal and celebrated 72 years together. He sadly passed May 18, 2024.
Dona had worked at Thorp Finance right out of high school. Following their marriage, Dona and Gene farmed in Spokeville for 15 years before moving to Spencer in 1966. Later she worked as a bookkeeper in the office at Land O’Lakes. She did just about everything with her husband: they enjoyed their Sunday drives “around the block,” she was a big fan of Gene’s music, and together they took great pride in their yard and flower garden.
She is survived by her sons, Michael (Luane) Lucht and Mark (Susanne) Lucht, all of Spencer; grandchildren, Kami (Brian) Haffenbredl of Bessemer, Mich., Mathew (Kristi) Lucht of Spencer, and Jake Lucht (Joelle Frey) of Unity; and great-grandchildren, Logan, Steve, Jameson, and Averilyn.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Gene; son, Steve Lucht (who died unexpectedly in 2010); granddaughter, Stacie Lucht; and her siblings, Dale Lindekugel and Arla Krings.
Memorials can be designated to Christ Lutheran Church in Marshfield. The family would like to extend a special thanks for the wonderful care Dona received at Marshfield Medical Center.
