Donna was a very special lady. We never met but we talked on the phone over many years and we always shared a laugh each time we talked. Even when she was not feeling well she was still always positive. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at such a sad time.

Deanna, Jennifer, Pam and your families have our condolences. We will hold you in our hearts as you go forward. I babysat Donna when she was young.
Love, Ginger and Max
There is so much to share!
Rick and I met Donna and Deanna at Woodsdale Baptist church (1976) when our daughter was 2 years old and Deanna was 3 years old. A mutual friend told us that we would become fast friends and indeed we did. That is the moment she and I became family. Not just family to the Todd's but to Jane her mother and Pam her sister. And when Jenn came along we just bonded even more.
At one time we lived across the street from one another and it was a daily visit so the girls could play, we would visit and have tuna fish sandwiches with chips for lunch! Every...day.
Oh, and ice tea...always ice tea!
Donna and I, like most of you that know her, shared many escapades together over the last 43 years. Through those years we had the opportunity to laugh, cry and praise Jesus so many times.
Now she's out of pain and is with her friends & her family who have gone before. But most importantly she is with her Lord.
I know you are Resting In Peace Donna because you are with our Savior!
I love you, my friend.
Cindy and I met in November 1981...I met Donna at exactly the same time. They were together and I was driving a hot rod. One of them recognized my car and said: "there's Sean." I was 24-years-old and when two pretty young ladies call your name, one knows to pay attention.
The following July, Cindy and I were married, and Donna, Bonnie, and Jeannie were her bridesmaids.
I called Cindy and Donna "Lucy and Ethel" because they were pretty mischievous when they were together.
And that was 37 years ago.
Deanna, Jenny, Pam, Jimmy and all the rest of the family: I know where Donna is now and I know what an amazing legacy Donna left behind. She certainly touched a lot of lives and gave our family some precious memories!
The folks in New Orleans treat passing as a part of life. Their philosophy is "I really am going to miss you, but sure was great to know you, and I can't wait to see you again."
Donna, we are better people for having known you, and we do love you!
Donna and I have known each other for over 50 years. Yes , we went to school together. We hung out for awhile. Then she fell in love with my brother James. The two of them have pretty much been married ever since then . A very long time . She and James have two beautiful daughters and the rest was pretty much a very happy family . The girls married and now have beautiful children and live God fearing lives with their spouses and children. But Donna and James it always was sweet pure love for Jesus, their daughters and son n laws and most of all their wonderful grandkids ! I’m so happy that they were blessed to be able to have had a complete life and share so much love . Donna was a great mom a loving wife and a super sweet grandma . Her and I were just getting back to we’re we left off years ago and I will miss her and I already miss James. But, now I can miss them together with Jesus . Amen 🙏
