Sep 19, 1948 - Jan 13, 2026
Donna Mae Earley, 77, passed away peacefully on January 13, 2026. She was born on September 19, 1948, and lived a life defined by compassion, resilience, and unwavering love for others.
Donna devoted much of her working life to caring for people as a Certified Nursing Assistant. Being a CNA was more than a profession - it was a calling. She gave her time, strength, and heart to those in need, offering comfort, dignity, and kindness. Through her work, she touched countless lives and was deeply respected for her dedication and gentle spirit.
Above all, Donna was a devoted mother. She was the proud mother of six children: Kenneth, Mishelle, Joshua, Justin, Laura, and Chantelle. She raised her children with determination, sacrifice, and unconditional love. Her home was always open, and her heart even more so. In addition to her own children, Donna took several other children under her wings, offering guidance, stability, and care to those who needed it most. To her, family was not limited by blood - anyone she loved was family.
Donna was known for her big heart, her willingness to help others without hesitation, and her strength through life's challenges. She showed those around her what it meant to care deeply, work hard, and love fiercely. Her legacy lives on through her children and all those whose lives were made better by knowing her.
She will be deeply missed by her children, extended family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to experience her kindness and love.
