Donna Bockelkamp, 61, passed away peacefully Sunday, July 31, 2022, at her home in Harrisburg. She was born Sept. 4, 1960, in Carlisle to Richard and Sara (Ciccocioppo) Zettlemoyer. She proudly served in the Army. In addition to her dedicated military service, she was a supervisor for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. When she wasn’t working, she was particularly talented with her garden. Each year, her care in the garden would produce a great harvest that the entire family would enjoy. She passionately loved her family, especially her grandchildren. She took every opportunity to spend time loving them and taking them on new adventures. Most importantly, she was a follower of Christ. She put her trust in Christ’s finished work on her behalf. Because of her love for Christ, she was an active member of Fairmont Community Church, where she regularly attended services and served alongside her husband as youth director for seven years. She counted it a great privilege to disciple the next generation of Christ followers as to how to navigate this uncertain world with certainty in Christ. In addition to her parents, surviving are her husband, Mark Bockelkamp, to whom she was married 23 years and raised four strong, proud and loving children; three sons, Brandon Zettlemoyer (Keeter), Brian Riddle (Erika) and Cody Bockelkamp (Jessica); a daughter, Michelle (Riddle) Harris (Michael); two brothers, Dennis Zettlemoyer and Richard Zettlemoyer Jr.; seven sisters, Brenda Brinson, Melony Dixon, Deanna Mease, AnnaMarie Casner, Robin Chiccini, Deb Jackson and Mary Stump; four granddaughters, Sierra and Alyssa Zettlemoyer and Bella and London Harris; and four grandsons, Levin Harris, Cooper Riddle, Malachi Bockelkamp and Micah Bockelkamp. She was preceded in death by two brothers Albert Ciccocioppo and Ralph Zettlemoyer. A celebration of life service will be held at 10 a.m., Friday, Aug. 12, in her church, 1211 Fairmont Drive, Harrisburg, with pastor G. David Tressler officiating. Visitation is from 9 to 10 a.m. Interment in Woodlawn Cemetery will be at a later date.
