It breaks my heart to write this message. Pearl, Missy and Chris I am so sad for you and your families. Donna was such a beautiful woman and I say this from the bottom of my heart. I loved her and she was one of the first I would seek out when I would see Pearl's camper and her sitting in her chair out in front . I will surely miss her. May God bless you with pleasant memories that will make you smile. Love to you all

So sorry to hear of Donna’s passing. I went to school with her at Buckeye Central and she also rode my bus. Hadn’t seen her in quite a few years but know she will be missed. Prayers to all her family.

Our prayers and condolences go out to Donna's family. I was so shocked to hear of her passing. Donna was such a kind and caring boss, co-worker, but most of all, my friend. She was loved and admired by so many of us. She is truly going to be missed. Love and prayers, Brenda Baughman.

My wonderful friend Donna, You were always with a smile when you entered the room of many. At our family reunions we showed the ones that didn't know the hillbilly stomp so we had a ball showing them just how much we enjoyed the music & family. You were always a friend to All* I will miss you Donna so very much. God needed another angel & that is why you were called home to Heaven to talk with your darling daughter Sheila & all your kin folks. The smiles were every where. Till we meet again Donna, we will be on the dance floor having some more fun. So glad we had some girl talk over the years. Those days I'll always remember. Miss & Love you sister of mine. Hugs Gerlie Marie*

My heart breaks at the loss of Donna as it did when we lost Dee. The dynamic duo. I was so blessed to work with them for many years. Donna had such a beautiful and caring heart and a smile that would light up a room. I will miss her and cherish my memories. Prayers and condolences to her family who I feel I knew by how much she bragged about you all. She lived you all fiercely. Fly high my sweet friend.

Pearl, Missy and all the rest of Donnas family, I am so saddened by her passing. I’m so glad that we met up again after all these years before her and Deannas passing. Those two gals spent a lot of time at our house in Tiro when we were teenagers and we had so much fun together. You will never be forgotten Donna, your funny spirit will live in all who ever knew you!
Phyllis Tackett Ortiz - Sep 3, 2021
I shall never forget your smiling face and the happiness you brought with you whenever you entered a room or gathered with family and friends. Fondest memories of the reunions in the head of the holler and you dancin' your Hillbilly stomp. You always had the biggest smile in the room. Pearle Jr had found his rose when God put you two together. Our love for you is unending. May you rest in peace until we all meet again.
Missy Smart - Sep 3, 2021
An incredible lady who was fun, hilarious, sweet and a great dancer. I know how much she loved her family and how much they love her. My heart in broken. Prayers and hugs to you all.
Margie Hamilton Wechter - Sep 3, 2021
I can only think of happy memories with Aunt Donna. She was a beautiful woman with a jolly spirit. She could dance with the best of them, and was a smart person having earned her nursing degree. I can remember when she would put hot rollers in her hair and I just thought how pretty she was. Or how little she was driving you Missy in that big black truck to gymnastics. She will be greatly missed and I’m sorry for your loss. A wonderful mom, good wife, and great human being! Rest In Peace Aunt Donna!🌼
