MADISON – Donna L. McGlocklin, 83, of Madison, passed away peacefully June 11, 2025, at her daughter’s home in Ellsworth. She was born in Lewiston, Dec. 29, 1941, to Flora L. Safford (née Burgess) and Ormond L. Safford of Monmouth.

Donna grew up in Monmouth and attended school at Monmouth Academy. In her senior year, she met the love of her life, Charles R. McGlocklin of Tucson, Ariz., (U.S. Coast Guard) while visiting Old Orchard Beach. Charles and Donna would go on to raise four children and establish their home in Madison. Donna really shined and took pride in her role as a homemaker. She enjoyed cooking and baking, and especially looked forward to springtime, when she could be outdoors – cutting the grass, working in her gardens, or repairing a stone wall. Donna also enjoyed many years of antiquing with friends and was a long-time member of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension Club – the Madison Riparians.

Donna is survived by three of her children: Chris R. McGlocklin and wife Dyan, of Tucson, Ariz.; Kelly S. Grass (née McGlocklin) and husband Steve, of Ellsworth; and Keri A. Robson (née McGlocklin) and husband David, of Birmingham, Mich. She is also survived by her loving brother Gary Safford of Monmouth; her nine grandchildren: Mollie, Ian, Ryan, Allison, Danielle, Brianna, Logan, Andrew and Alex; and a great-grandson, Bennett.

She is predeceased by her husband, Charles R. McGlocklin and their son, Craig L. McGlocklin of Tucson, and her sister-in-law, Noella B. (née True) Alden Safford of Monmouth.

The family would like to thank Northern Light Hospice Care of Hancock county for their care and support.

Respectfully and at her request, there will be no funeral service. A small committal service will be attended by members of her immediate family.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of Bragdon-Kelley Funeral Home, Ellsworth, where online condolences may be shared: http://www.bragdonkelley.com
