A native of Glascock County, Donna graduated from Glascock County High School and worked many jobs and positions.

Where Donna found her passion was working as a Legal assistant to Harold Hinsley, Warrenton, GA, who went on to be Circuit court Judge; Legal assistance to Marty Craword and Pat Officer III, of Cookeville, TN.

Donna was a creative soul, she loved to cook, read, crochet, paint, color and needle point. She was always working on a project, a new painting, a new blanket for one of her babies, or cooking up a new recipe. Donna was always busy with something, even after retiring. She was a wonderful, caring, smart, funny and loving mother. Donna was a spoiling grandmother to her “Suga babies”. Donna was always someone you could talk to about anything and would give you her honest opinion with love and care.

A special thanks to Mike, Dana and Tammy from Heartland Hospice for taking such good care of Donna and the family in her final days.

A Celebration of Life services will be held at 2:00 PM Saturday August 29th, 2026, in the Sheppard Memorial Chapel of Taylor Funeral Home in Gibson with the family receiving friends one hour prior to services.
