Donna Stilwell-Kronick

Donna Stilwell-Kronick of Kansas City, Missouri passed away on January 6th, 2024, at age 67. She passed peacefully with her daughter Nicole and former husband Michael by her side.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Heartland Cremation & Burial Society (802 NW Vesper St, Blue Springs, MO) on Saturday, January 20th, from 10am-12pm.

Donna was born in Cheboygan, Michigan and grew up in Detroit and Mackinac City, Michigan. She was known for her love of flamingos because of her family’s flamingo themed motel located in Mackinac City. Her family also owned a local pizza place, Mama Mia’s, where she had many fond memories.

Some of her favorite pastimes included spending time with loved ones, rescuing animals (specifically cats and poodles), traveling, and making friends wherever she went. Because of her friendly personality, she took joy in her work as an insurance agent, making many lifelong friends along the way. There were truly no strangers to her, only friends she hadn’t met yet.

She is survived by her daughter Nicole Kronick, standard poodle Aries, former husband Michael Kronick, sister Kim Stilwell, brother Jay Stilwell, sister Jalynn Stilwell-Schnur, stepson Daniel Kronick, and many beloved family members and friends.

    My heart aches for Donna’s entire family. I’m sure this loss is quite devastating. I wish I could find comforting words to say, but that would be impossible.

    So very sorry Nicole. Your Mama was a good friend, and the time I spent with her was a blessing. She taught me a lot about being strong and making the best out of what I was dealt in life. We had some really good talks, and spent some good times together. I have missed her friendship, and have thought of her often in the last few years. She impacted my life, and seeing her work thru all of life’s struggles with a positive attitude taught me that it’s all in how you deal, and what you choose to do with your situation. She will be missed, and I’ll always have her in my heart.??

    Nicole, we are so sorry. We were Shocked and Saddened to hear to hear of Donna’s passing. Donna and I were very lucky to have been cousins who lived close by and grew up together. Summers we spent in Mackinaw City and work her families pizza parlor. Looking back It was amazing the fun and crazy things we’d do, so mischievous and we ended up in trouble a lot. As teens we hung around and Chris and Donna became good friends. We all were so wild and crazy, it was the 70’s after all. Donna will be treasured forever in our memories. God Bless her, she is loved and missed by both of us.
