Donna Marie Fondren age 83 years old, died peacefully and went home to Jesus with her surviving devoted husband Robert (Bob) Fondren beside her at Tennova Healthcare Hospital in Clarksville, TN on October 7, 2025.

Donna was born on March 15, 1942, in Bangor, ME to Rosemary (Rose) Davis and Elliott Davis. She married Robert (Bob) Fondren on July 25, 1992, and moved from St. Charles, MO to Clarksville, TN shortly after. She was an active hiker with Tennessee Trails where she made many close friends. She enjoyed nature, wildlife, and the outdoors. She wouldn't hesitate to call you just to tell you about seeing a squirrel on her back deck. She was also an active bowler enthusiast with the Senior bowling league and made many close friends with her team "Left Out". She made friends wherever she went and anyone who had the privilege of being in her life would have no doubt of her fierce love for family, friends, and life. She was an angel here on earth and now she has her angel wings in heaven and without a shadow of doubt I know that Buddy was there to greet her from the rainbow bridge.

Donna is survived by her siblings Carol Stout and Jon Davis. Three children Danny Schwab, Denise Schwab, Dawn Jordan and Son-in-Law Shane Jordan. Six grandchildren Angela Martin, Terrence Speichinger lll, Ashley Reece, Shawna Speichinger, Justin and Jason Jordan. Eight great grandchildren Braelynn Ella Reece, Brielle Everly Reece, Grayson Cole Reece, Ellie Martin, Kayden Speichinger, Romona Speichinger, Maxine Speichinger, and Layla Speichinger.

Donna is preceded in death by her siblings, Grant, Ron, Taylor, and Betty.

In lieu of flowers the family is requesting donations to the American Heart Association.
