Misti Ann (Ulm) Donathan, 44, of Olney, IL, passed away January 7, 2025 at Linda E. White Hospice House in Evansville, Indiana.

Misti was born on March 24, 1980 in Olney, IL to parents, Charles "Chuck" Ulm and Mary Ann (Judy) Ulm. She married Robert Donathan and he survives.

Misti was a 1998 graduate of West Richland High School and went on to graduate from Eastern Illinois University with a Bachelor's degree. She then returned to Richland County and worked for several different social work organizations. In the past few years she has worked as a substitute teacher and volunteered for the Junior Football League as a cheerleading coach.

Misti was fiercely competitive and had a passion for all sports and games. She not only loved participating in sports and many fun activities, but she also loved cheering on her family and friends in their endeavors. As a student she not only was in band, but she also participated in track, softball, basketball, volleyball, cheerleading, and cross country. She was also very supportive of her family and attended as many sporting events of her children, nieces and nephews as she could. She was once a volleyball coach at Jasper West Junior High and led them to the State finals. The sport she enjoyed the most was running. She ran numerous races, including the Boston Marathon and many years of the River to River relay. What Misti enjoyed most was the camaraderie of the running community.

Misti was a member of the Glenwood Church in Noble and she attended the church her entire life.
