Donna Starling Obituary
Donna was preceded in death by her parents, her grandparents, Kenneth and Annie Ruth Starling of Fayetteville, NC and Moody and Bertha Griffin of Gaffney, SC.
Donna is survived by her brothers, Kenneth R. Starling (Debbie), Joe A. Starling (Nikki) of Fuquay Varina, NC, uncles, Keith Starling (Mildred), Ocean Isle Beach, NC, Conley Starling, Little River, SC and 8 nephews and nieces.
Donna was a 1971 graduate of Kecoughtan High School, Hampton, VA. She then obtained a degree from Thomas Nelson Community College. She spent the majority of her career as a technical writer and CAD draftsman until she transitioned to security in south Florida. In her spare time Donna enjoyed gardening and photography. She spent countless hours looking after and caring for those close to her and was loved dearly by her friends and family. She will be greatly missed.
A private memorial service will be held at a later date in North Carolina.
