April D. Locke, 47, of Pittsfield, PA, passed away at her home on November 5, 2026. Born on April 27, 1979, in Tampa Bay, FL she was the daughter of Richard Kolcun of Meadville, PA, and Connie Frausto of Santa Barbara, CA. April is survived by her fiance, Mike Donahue; her children, Kayla Traster, Emily Traster, Arielle Locke, Maria Donahue and Michael (Kyanna) Donahue; her beloved grandchildren, Nickoli, Yelene, Zephyr, Hayden, and Blair; her treasured sisters, Janell Kolcun and Katie Kolcun; and her cherished dog, Freyja. She was preceded in death by her beloved Oma, Mechtilde Kleinharns.
April found joy in tending her ducks and searching for treasures while rock hounding with her fiance whom she affectionately called "My Mike." She lived with a spirit of love that touched everyone fortunate enough to know her. When she loved, she loved deeply. When she had something to say, she spoke boldly. And when she laughed, she laughed so freely and joyfully that those around her could not help but laugh with her. Most of all, April had a remarkable gift for bringing a sense of peace to others, especially when it was needed most. Her warmth, strength, and gentle spirit will continue to inspire all who knew and loved her, and her memory will live on in their hearts forever.
