Donna was a very loving and devoted mother, sister and Nonnie. She was a very hard worker with a bubbly personality. Donna was a friend to all that she ran across; she never met a stranger. Her life was filled with her beloved son Jared, family, friends and her precious beloved dog, Abby. Being outside and at the farm gave her the happiest moments in her life.

She is survived by her son Jared Willis; sisters Linda Crosslin (Richard), Sharon Eaves, Debbie Hensley (Greg); brothers David Willis (Sue) and Dale Willis (Dawn); 26 nieces and nephews; 19 great nieces and nephews; many close friends, extended family and all who called her “Momma Donna”.
