I met Donna through United Methodist Women. Donna was such an inspiration to all who knew her. She worked tirelessly for UMW at the local and district levels and was such a witness for Jesus. I know our Lord must have welcomed her and told her "well done, good and faithful servant" because she truly had a servant's heart and a passion for Christ. Donna will be greatly missed. My prayers for all her family.

I haven't seen Donna since her wedding, so many years ago, but I will always remember her laughter. Heaven is a better place for her presence.

Donna was such a wonderful person. I so enjoyed working with her and getting to know her through UMW. She was a devout Christian, a wonderful and hard working member of her church and United Methodist Women. She taught me so much about the Methodist Church and UMW. She will be greatly missed by many. Family and friends are in my prayers.

Donna was my friend and my cousin. We grew up together in Newton, we were the King girls; same class, same last name, so many things the same. I remember her fondly and will cherish those childhood memories the rest of my days. I know she was a good Christian woman who loved her family and served in her church and community. I will miss seeing her at class reunions and our King Family Reunion. Prayers for her family.

Donna was a kind and genuine woman whom I knew through SE District UMW and shared times at Lakeview for Texas Conference meetings. She has inspired me with her dedication to worthy causes and sincere interest in others. God brought home a true saint who will be greatly missed.

My heart was saddened at the news of Donnas passing, but I know she is in a better place. She was an exceptional woman, mother, wife, sister and grandmother. She truly had a giving spirit and was a delight to all she met. I was proud to call her a classmate and a friend! She will be missed!

Donna was one of the finest people I have ever met. She will be missed in this world. Not many could equal her in kindness, helpfulness and her faith in God. I also taught Ben at Bleakwood.

Donna was always a sweet and funny friend. Like all of us, school, band, and church activities brought our small class of friends together every day while we were growing up in Newton. Im thankful we were able to spend time together at our class reunion a few years ago. Sending my love to all, especially my old friend Shorty. Dianne
