Donna D. Dopp-Lange, age 65, of Wisconsin Dells, ascended into heaven on December 17, 2024 at home with her loving husband Randal Lange, and beloved dogs Shadow, King Louis, and Princess Leilani.
Donna, daughter of Earl and Mary Jo (Brocato) Dopp, was born in Portage on 01/09/1959. She graduated from Portage High School (Class of 1977), and continued on to UW-Wisconsin Baraboo.
Donna and Randal were united in marriage on the beach in Maui on 02/03/06. They shared 18 beautiful years and many wonderful adventures together!
Mrs. Dopp-Lange worked for Holiday Wholesale for 32 years in Sales, then M&M/Mars where she wore many different hats, before finding her dream job at Exact Sciences as a Sr. Provider Support Specialist, where she truly enjoyed her work family.
Her passions included flowers, gardening, traveling, antiquing, creating art, and spending time with friends and family. However, her greatest passion in life was her love for animals. Wherever she went she lit up the room, and made every person she met feel uniquely special in their own way.
She is survived by her husband, Randy of Wisconsin Dells, step-daughter Sonja (Devin Golden) of Beaver Dam, brother, Dale Dopp of Milwaukee, sister Debbie (Randy) Vest of Portage, and brother-in-law Arden Hooverson of Madison. Also, she leaves behind many treasured relatives and cherished friends. She has been reunited with her mother Mary Jo, father Earl, brother Merlin, sister Shirley, mother-in-law Kathleen, father-in-law Donald “Ted”, brother-in law Brent, and a lifetime of precious animal friends. You will be missed by us all Donna, until we meet again!

Dear Brother Randy--James & I are just lost for words. So so sorry for losing your soulmate! She was the best--I will miss her crazy sense of humor, her caring ways to everyone who met her. The compassion for the love of dogs. I always thought of her as the female "dog whisper." She was amazing with those animals! They will miss her so much as all of us will. Our family chain is once again broken one more time. May the Lord wrap his loving arms around you & Sonja through this difficult time. Remember to keep those beautiful memories close to your heart. She will give you comfort & will always be with you. RIP sweet Donna. You got your wings now to fly with angels! God speed--

I am so sorry for your loss, after graduation Donna and I were roommates for awhile. We had some great times. I sure knew her love for animals. I went away for a bit and when I returned there was a dog and cat living with us! Lol! She loved her animals. She was a great person we had a lot of fun together! She will be missed by many I’m sure!
