Born on June 4, 1948, in Altus, Oklahoma, to Denny and Lorene Mitchell, Donna graduated from Morrilton High School in 1966. She worked for Regions Bank for over 25 years before moving on to her most recent position as a dispatcher at Clearview Digital Imaging.
Donna's greatest joy in life was being a Nana. She cherished spending time with her grandchildren, often driving them around in her beloved bright red VW bug. Donna was known for her delicious meals, especially her lasagna and chicken and dumplings. She found happiness on her back patio, where she could be found jamming to her favorite tunes, surrounded by family and friends who often gathered at her home.
A lover of the outdoors, Donna enjoyed swimming in her pool and caring for her dog, Sophie, who was her constant companion. Whether she was bowling, playing pool, watching hummingbirds, or dancing, Donna embraced life with energy and joy.
Known for her calm demeanor and problem-solving skills, Donna was the go-to person whenever anyone needed help. She was the rock of her family, always putting others' needs before her own.
Donna is survived by her husband, Charles Hendershot, Jr.; son, Bryan Michau (Amber); daughter, Ayley Bridges; two daughters-in-law, Allison Michau and Cynthia Gaston; two brothers, Mike Mitchell (Nancy) and Wes Mitchell; sister, Judy White (Bill); mother, Lorene Mitchell; grandchildren, Gavin, Garrett, Luke, Isaac, and Emily Michau, Loryn and Kaitlyn Hendershot, Kayla Bridges, and Maysie Seeger (Cray); and two great-grandchildren, Liliana Seeger and Tenzlee Michau.
She was preceded in death by her first husband, George Terry Michau; sons, Randy C. Michau and Charles ''Buster'' Hendershot III; father, Hebert Denzel Mitchell; and sister-in-law, Diane Mitchell.

RIP precious lady. God called another angel home. I had the pleasure of working with Donna for many years. Roy and I became good friends with she and Charlie and our whole family loved her. Especially, one of our daughters, Tina, who shared Donna's love of Betty Boop. Donna was a loving and generous person that was so easy to love. We spent many hours at their home and it was always a happy loving place, just like Donna. She was loved by so many and will be missed by everyone she knew.
My cousin Donna was such a loving , caring , rock of the family. She was one of a kind and her caring ways and wit and humor will be missed beyond words. Prayers for my family members . May God wrap his loving arms around you all and give you peace and comfort in the days to come . Much love , Patti Goolsby
