Donna Rhea Hinote, 73, of Pensacola, Florida passed away peacefully on April 17, 2025, at Sacred Heart Hospital. A memorial service will take place at Trahan Funeral Home on May 23, 2025 at 10 a.m.
A native of Pensacola, Donna was born on July 26, 1951 to Charles & Gladys Howes. Donna graduated from Escambia High School and wed the love of her life, Bill Hinote, to whom she was married for over 40 years. She raised two children and helped build a successful business and loving home for her family. She enjoyed gardening, studying the bible, decorating, long walks, and spending time with her grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Bill; and her sister, Barbara.
Donna is survived by her children, David and Tanja Hinote, Jennifer and Todd Gingerich; and her two grandchildren, Sophie and Grayson Gingerich; as well as her sister, Sandy.
Donna walked with Christ in this world and will watch over her family from heaven as her legacy of strength and selflessness lives on through those she helped create until we are reunited in God's Kingdom.
