I am so saddened to hear of her passing. I was an aide at stonebridge and had the pleasure of taking care of Donna for a year. I always enjoyed visiting with her and she always had a smile on her face. One night miss Donna was one of the few of the residents that were up that night and sje come wondering down the hall looking for my coworker at the time John but he was not on the clock yet so I settled her down and went dancing down the hall with her to Elvis Presley jail house rock on my phone. I will forever be greatful for that wonderful memory and all the rest that I got with her. Donna was a wonderful woman and all who met her loved her company 😊

Can't remember my childhood without Donna Kay. I'm grateful for her faithful friendship all through the years. We talked much about our love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the most important relationship anyone can ever have. When I heard of her passing, I thought "she is with Him now." I'll see her when He calls me home. She and Digger raised a wonderful daughter who honored her parents very well. Thank you Lynnette!

I knew Donna from when she was at the RCF. When I visited my parents, Donna was sometimes sitting in the foyer visiting with the other residents. She was always smiling and cheerful. I enjoyed chatting with her there. Sorry to hear of her passing. Our prayers are with the family.

I so enjoyed being around Donna at the RCF. She would come into the parlor singing and waving her arms like she was leading the song with a smile on her face. Her and Wanda became the best of friend's. God Bless her family.
