Dona Camin

On May 16, 2016, our beloved sister, Dona Allison Camin (Kocher), age 51, slipped this mortal coil and joined heaven’s choir. She had the voice of an angel that will never be forgotten. “Czarina Starfire,” was the family bard. She wrote prolifically and performed in many venues. Always a free spirit, Dona loved to talk in a variety of accents. She once convinced a suitor that she was a French exchange student. He never did catch on that it was all an elaborate ruse. In spite of her own significant challenges, she was an extremely thoughtful and generous person, rescuing animals and serving those less fortunate. Dona was planning to move back East to spend time with her family, and especially her granddaughter, Madison Joan Montgomery when she passed. A special thanks to Larry Brewer of Vernal, Utah, who was a kind and generous friend. Dona is pre-deceased by her parents, Joan (Lathbury) and Donald Kocher of Moorestown. She is survived by her loving son, Donald (Lynn) Montgomery of Delair, sister Karen Kocher (Tom Schatz) and nephews, Nick and Noah Schatz of Austin and Nancy Kocher (Anita Biasi) of Moorestown. Please join our family in a celebration of Dona’s life on Sunday, July 17th at the Moorestown Community House from 3 – 5 p.m. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Salvation Army of New Jersey.
