A native of Glascock County, Donna graduated from Glascock County High School and worked many jobs and positions. Donna worked for Dr. Geraldine Hargrove at Augusta College, as an administrator to Dean Heartgrove, Augusta, GA, and Savannah River Site as Dupont of training coordinator. 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 assistant 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 service 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 the service.
