Viola Ladonna Petermann

December 1, 1942 — February 1, 2020

Viola Ladonna Petermann was born on December 1, 1942 to Roy V. and Catherine S. Bailey (Skulley) of Guymon, OK. Ladonna graduated college at Panhandle State University in 1961 and became a teacher at Ralston, OK. On July 4th, 1965 she married William “Bill” Petermann in Guymon, OK. To that union, three daughters were born. Ladonna devoted her life to caring for her family and contributed her time and energy to helping in fellowship. She followed her husband whose career took them to several cities in Oklahoma and even Pakistan. In 1990 they moved to Stillwater, OK, Bill’s hometown and became very active in Sunnybrook Christian Church and the community. During the years Ladonna was a caring teacher, loving homemaker, creative artist, accomplished seamstress, dedicated volunteer, and strong advocate for those less fortunate. She strived for excellence in everything she did and would take on each new challenge full of determination. Her witty sense of humor and giving spirit paved the road for starting and building relationships.
