Donna Netolicky

DONNA SUE NETOLICKY, 64, of Islamorada, FL passed away July 4, 2014 amidst the fireworks, the same way she came into the world on January 1, 1950 in West Palm Beach, FL. After growing up in Delray Beach, she went on to become a pilot and obtained both commercial and teaching licenses. Donna spent most of her life in South Florida with forays into Ohio and California before moving to the Florida Keys in the summer of 2003. She traded in her love for aviation and adventure for a fishing pole and a slice of paradise with the love of her life. Donna is survived by her husband Phil; sisters Ellen (Tom) Neumann, Pam (Greg) Weekes, and Janice Eberly; children Flip (Laurel) Netolicky, Brett Netolicky, Jarret Hastings, Ginger (Steve) Kuth, and Corinna Hablig; grandchildren Phyn, Skyler, Carson, Rain, and Willow; and her canine companion of sixteen years, Daisy. She was preceded in death by her parents, Richard and June Rosacker. A celebration of her life will be held on the Blue Chip Too charter boat operated by Captain Skip Bradeen, the same boat where she and Phil married in 2006. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Visiting Nurse Association & Hospice of the Florida Keys, Inc. at 92001 Overseas Highway, Tavernier FL, 33070 or online at www.vnahospicekeys.org.
