Donna Cherpeski Sisko

Donna Cherpeski Sisko passed away peacefully with her children by her side. She passed due to respiratory complications. She was born to Jack and Eileen Cherpeski on January 21, 1936, and lived most of her life on the west side of Great Falls. She was married to William “Benny” Bennyhoff for 13 years, and they later divorced. She then married George Sisko and was married to him for 52 years until his passing on July 28, 2018. Two years ago, she moved to Boise, Idaho where she lived in an apartment attached to her daughter’s house. She was well cared for while there. Donna never left her house without being immaculately dressed. Everyone always commented that she always looked great without a hair out of place. She absolutely loved her extravagant jewelry. She took pride in her earrings that were either oversized or dangling to her shoulders. Her personality was to please everyone all the time. If a person asked for something, and if it was within her ability, she would always help. Her number one goal was to ensure everyone, especially her family, got along. She loved playing cards, bingo, rammoli, or any other game that she could play with family or the card ladies’ group she met with. She took after her mother. Donna was quite a crafter. She made everything from some of her earrings to crochet quilts, blankets, and took much pride in her cross-stitched pictures that won many awards at the state fair. She was very fun loving during her life, and everyone loved her. She loved her children with all of her heart. Donna was preceded in death by her husband, George; sister, Susan Dickman; brothers, Bill Cherpeski and Jim Cherpeski; granddaughter, Jamie Bennyhoff; grandson, Jason Bartell; and great-grandson, Tanner Bennyhoff. She is survived by her three children, William (Marcia) Bennyhoff, Cindy (David) Logan, and Doug (Kathy) Bennyhoff; grandsons, Jason and Brandon Logan, Travis Bennyhoff, James Bartell and Jennifer Harrison. There are also 7 great-grandchildren. Services will be held at a later date (approximately early April). In lieu of flowers the family is requesting donations to Peace Hospice in Great Falls.
