Donna Foutz Obituary

GREENVILLE -- Donna Foutz left her earthly body on November 26, 2025.

She was born Donna Jane McGlinch to the late Byford (Bill) McGlinch and Marlene (Harsh) McGlinch on October 9, 1948. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her older brother Tom McGlinch of Chicago.

Surviving her is her husband of almost 58 years, Fred, whom she married in 1968. Also surviving her is a brother, Dan (Debbie) McGlinch of Union City and brother James (Mindy) McGlinch of Greenville. Donna is also survived by three grown children, Deron Foutz of New Ulm, Minnesota, Amy Foutz-Kelley of Chesapeake, Virginia and Wesley Foutz of Greenville. Donna loved her family and absolutely adored her four grand-daughters and grandson, Arica Kelley, Katrina Kelley, Kianna Kelley, Ayanna Kelley and Trystian Kelley of Chesapeake, Virginia. She doted on her two great grandsons, Josiah Kelley and Kylen Kelley of Chesapeake, Virginia. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

Donna worked in classified advertising for newspapers in 14 states alongside her husband who worked in circulation and marketing. She saw much of the USA during her career and visited Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas and Italy. She loved visiting casinos in most all these places. She enjoyed playing pull-tabs at the V.F.W. where she was a lifetime member of the Auxiliary. Donna is truly missed by all who knew her.

Donna is to be afforded cremation rites by Zechar-Bailey Funeral Home and the family plans a celebration of life at a later date to be announced.
