Donna Sue Bennett

Donna Bennett, age 71, went home peacefully to be with her Lord and

Savior, Jesus Christ, on February 1, 2026, surrounded by her loving

family.

Donna was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, and later made

Cleveland, Tennessee her home. It was there that she built lifelong

friendships and created treasured memories with family and friends.

Donna spent her final working years with Life Bridges, where she

faithfully served individuals with disabilities. She had a true servant's

heart and found great joy in caring for others. Donna never met a

stranger and had a special gift for making everyone she encountered

feel welcomed, valued, and loved.

Above all else, Donna loved her family. Her grandchildren were the

light of her life, and she poured her love into each of them. Her

warmth, kindness, and open arms will be deeply missed by all who

knew her.

Donna is survived by her daughter, Michelle (Michael) Blackwell; her

sons, Paul Foley and Brandon (Jennifer) Foley; her grandchildren,

Dakota (Erica), Nakoma, Jessie (Chelsea), Zack, Jacob, Joey, Skylar,

and Levi; and her great-granddaughter, Emery. She is also survived

by her mother, Dorothy Hughes, and her sister, Cindy (David) Aloe.

She was preceded in death by her father, Cecil; her stepfather, Jim;

her brothers, Rick and Gary; and her sister, Debbie.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to all who

have offered their love, prayers, support, and kindness during this

difficult time. Your thoughts, words of comfort, and acts of compassion

have meant more than words can express.

A Celebration of Life service will be held on March 14, 2026, at 2:00

p.m. at Covenant Baptist Church in Cleveland, Tennessee.
