Donna Faye Tuggle Black

Donna Faye Tuggle Black, age 73, formerly of Frierson, Louisiana, was born on January 27, 1952, in El Dorado, Arkansas. Donna passed unexpectedly on Friday, November 14, 2025, and joined her Heavenly Father.

Donna was a true Southern woman who embraced simple living and found joy in life’s small, meaningful moments. She loved plants, scrapbooking, antique shopping, and crafting—anything that allowed her to create beauty with her hands. Her faith was steady, and she lived each day with kindness, gratitude, and grace. Above all, she loved her family deeply. They were the light of her life and the heart of everything she did. Donna was a devoted mother, grandmother, friend, and a constant, comforting presence to all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Doris Pearl Cobb; her father, Aubyn Kit Tuggle; her husband, Edward Gustavus (Gus) Black; and her granddaughter, Hannah Grace Sandlin. She is survived by her brother, Aubyn Kit Tuggle, Jr.; her sister, Janice Lanell Tuggle Faulk; her children, Tina Woodward, Tallion Woodward and wife Deanna, Tamara Woodward, Jessica Sandlin and husband Jason, and Teesa Meeks and husband Paul; as well as numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, all of whom she cherished beyond measure.

Donna’s warmth, creativity, and love will be deeply missed by all whose lives she touched. Her memory will remain a lasting blessing to everyone who knew her.

Services for Donna will be Friday, November 21, 2025, at 1 p.m., with visitation prior from 12–1 p.m. at Rose-Neath Funeral Home, 2500 Southside Dr., Shreveport.
