Donna Kay Bercot-Schimes, 70, passed away Thursday, March 26, 2020 in Fort Wayne, IN., surrounded by her family. She was born in Fort Wayne, IN, to Cora McCloskey. She graduated from South Side High School in 1968.
Donna was a wonderful mother, from Girl Scout troop to planning events or trips—everything was more fun because of her. She owned Donna’s Tap in Decatur, IN, which brought her much joy and happiness. She was very spunky and never knew a stranger. There are so many things to be said about such a wonderful lady. Too many to limit to a few sentences. All who knew her will never forget her.
She is survived by her Mother Cora; children, Jeremy (Heidi) Bercot, Jessica (John) Bercot, Jeannette Schimes; siblings, Dianne (Bill) Meyer, David (Carol) Bercot, Debra Bercot; grandchildren, Jordan (Xavier) Bercot, Kaycee Bercot, Ivyanna Harkenrider, Trevar Wyss, Collin Wyss, Roland Bercot, Cora Tolomay, Audrey Hamilton; great-grandchild, Adrian Johnson, and all of her Tap family. She was preceded in death by her husband of 36 years, Ronald Schimes, brother Dan Bercot, father-in-law, John, and brother-in-law, Larry.
Private graveside service will be conducted at Highland Park Cemetery in Fort Wayne, IN. In lieu of memorials, we ask that you pass on Donna’s spirit by supporting your local hangouts. Arrangements have been entrusted to D.O. McComb and Sons Pine Valley Park Funeral Home, 1320 East Dupont Road, Fort Wayne, IN. To sign the online guestbook go to www.mccombandsons.com
