Charma Donson Obituary

Charma Donson was born on September 7th, 1930, and departed this earth on August 27th, 2024 after a lengthy struggle with heart issues. She was the last of her 6 siblings.
She is survived by her devoted husband of 71 years, Kenneth; son, Dirck (Carol); grandson, Jonas (Krystal); and great-grandson, George, and other family members and friends.
Born in the Depression gave her the ability to stretch a dollar and she so enjoyed getting a good bargain whether it be at the grocery store, flea market (which she enjoyed with Kenneth and friends), or a garage sale.
She was a gifted seamstress and fashioned many brides with their gowns, as well as sewing for her family. Her last project was transforming a wedding dress made in the 70s into a Christening gown that future Donson could wear.
The family wishes to thank you for your kind words and prayers during this journey. And would also like to thank everyone at Mt. Carmel Community for their care and concern for us. We would also be remiss without thanking Dr. Kruti Patel and Dr. Forrest Glover for their care, love and candor during her heart issues.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your heart.
We will be celebrating her life on Saturday, September 7th at 11:00 at the Bryant First United Methodist Church with the Rev. Bill Cato officiating.
