Donna was a devoted servant of Christ, and a cherished mother, grandmother, sister, daughter and friend. Her life was marked by kindness, generosity and unwavering faith.
For over two decades, Donna dedicated herself to teaching elementary students in DeLand, shaping the lives of countless children. Her commitment extended beyond the classroom, as she was deeply involved in local churches, sharing the message of Jesus Christ through Sunday school, Vacation Bible School and numerous community-outreach programs.
Donna had a special place in her heart for the less fortunate in the area. She was the volunteer coordinator for Interfaith Kitchen at First United Methodist Church of DeLand, where she faithfully served the community on a nightly basis. She treated all attendees with compassion and love, just as Jesus did.
Donna was preceded in death by her parents, Elmore Allen and Barbara June Green of Portland, Tennessee, and her brother David (Peggy) Green of Eustis. She is survived by her brother Daniel H. (Debbie) Green of Cross Plains, Tennessee; her three children, Mark (Sonya) Witham of Longwood, Michael Witham of Lake Mary and Marlena (Kevin) Kelly of DeBary; and her four beloved grandchildren, Noah, Grace, Nicklaus and Conner.
