Donna was a wonderful, devoted, selfless, caring wife and mother who always found a way to provide for her children even when resources were scarce. Her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were the light of her life. If asked, any of them could recount being swayed in a rocker to the sound of Mom singing “Little Brown Church in the Wildwood”. 

Mom, we love you and we know that one day we will be reunited with you.  You are now in the presence of your heavenly father and as is written in Revelation 21:4 “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away”.

Memorial services will be held Saturday April 13^th, 2024 10:30 am at South Bossier Baptist Church with Dr. Randy Zeigler officiating.
