Donna fought a long battle that began with juvenile diabetes at age 9. But even with that lifelong challenge, she always had a smile for everyone. She was a graduate of the Sparks College/ Eufaula , LPN Nursing Program.When her son, Matthew was in school she did substitute teaching at G.W. Long School in Skipperville. As a little girl her daddy gave her the nickname “Charlie”. Growing up she stayed by her daddy’s side as often as she could, that instilled in her a love for automobiles and restoring them. She developed a life skill that enabled her to become the parts manager at the Dothan Airport. Donna loved the color purple; she spoke her mind, and her son Matthew and her dog Harley were the loves of her life. She will be greatly missed.

Lana’s Flowers of Eufaula (850-819-3344) will be serving the family.
