Donna Zweidinger Koler (Parma, OH) After graduation in 1960, I worked as a secretary in the real estate title industry. Alex Koler and I were married in May, 1964, one month after he graduated from the University of Dayton. In August, 1964, we moved to Coral Gables, Florida, where my husband was pursuing his PhD in Mathematics at the University of Miami. Michael (44) and David (43) were born at Doctors Hospital in Coral Gables, Florida, and Jerry (42) and Captain Mark, M. D. (31) (deceased) were born at Parma Community General Hospital. We have 9 grandchildren, (4 boys and 5 girls) between the ages of 8 through l7 years old. The two oldest girls attend Padua Franciscan High School; 5 children attend St. Albert the Great and two attend St. Bartholomew

We returned to Parma in 1967, so that Alex could work at Republic Steel Research Center in Independence as a Research Mathematician. We have lived on Dogwood Lane since 1981.

Our sons are all college graduates, Ohio State University, Akron University and University of Dayton (2). All our sons graduated Summa Cum Laude from their respective colleges. Two of our sons are Certified Financial Planners (Michael and Jerry) as is my husband, Alex. Our son (David) works with us during our tax season and is an IT specialist for a local Medical firm. Our youngest son, a Pediatric Surgeon, Captain Mark A. Koler, M. D., died in 1999, at age 31.

Koler Financial Group in Parma Hts., Ohio, was formed in 1972, while Alex was still employed at Republic Steel. Presently KFG is in the top 15 offices with SagePoint Financial in the United States for the year ending 2009.

We also have offices in Florida and Georgia.

Our company, Koler Financial Group, received the Pride Award from the Parma Chamber of Commerce in 2004.

I have attended Cuyahoga Community College. I am professionally licensed in life insurance, annuities and long term care insurance and I am a Registered Representative for mutual fund sales and personally prepare250 tax returns annually. My tax business Koler Tax Service, prepares approximately 900 returns every year with the help of 3 associates.

I still work because I receive tremendous joy and satisfaction from helping our clients with their everyday problems and I am very sympathetic to their needs especially when their spouse or loved one dies. I advise clients (with the help of our staff attorney and other professionals) on how to settle their estates, transition assets, etc. My skills in helping our clients at their time of need developed over a 38 year period.
