Donna Bennett Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Donna Lynn Bennett, who left this world on February 6, 2026, at the age of 69. Born on October 8, 1956, in Newport News, Virginia, she lived her entire life in her beloved hometown.
Donna dedicated many years of her life to working as a factory worker at Howmet Aerospace, where she was known for her diligence and commitment. Her work ethic and dedication were admired by all who had the privilege to work alongside her.
Donna was preceded in death by her parents, Marcia and Leon Barham. She is survived by her loving daughter, Sara Smith, who will forever cherish the memories and lessons shared with her mother.
A memorial service to honor Donna's life will be held at a later date. She will be remembered fondly by her family, friends, and all who knew her. May she rest in peace.
Simply Cremation is assisting Donna's family with the arrangements.
