Donna Kaye Hornaday (née Breazeale), 61, passed away on July 28, 2025, in Sebring, Florida. Born on October 8, 1963, in St. Petersburg, Florida, Donna spent her life dedicated to her family and career, leaving a lasting impact on everyone she encountered. Known for her infectious laugh and zest for life, Donna was a central figure in her family. She deeply loved her kids and grandchildren. Her laughter, even on challenging days, is a cherished memory that will linger with her loved ones. A self-proclaimed foodie, Donna's favorite treats included lemons and peach cobbler, and she relished the joys of good food shared with family and friends. Donna is survived by her children, Kimberly Smith, Kyle Hornaday (Jessica Scott), and Lisa Johnson (Allan); grandchildren, McKenna, Savannah, Zoey, Tristyn, Caylee, Zuryanna, and Ellie; her brother, Kenny Breazeale Jr.; and many other family members and friends who felt her love and kindness. She was preceded in death by her parents, Kenneth Breazeale Sr. and Patricia Breazeale. Donna's legacy of warmth, laughter, and devotion to her family will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by those who were fortunate enough to know her.
