My sweet Donna girl will be missed by so many, but we are so glad she is with the good Lord above! December 4th, 2025 I began an internship at the assisted living facility Donna was living at. My first day there I received so much love from Mrs. Donna Lewis and even held her hand and walked around with her for an hour. I was so nervous at first about working at an assisted living facility/nursing at first but sweet Donna took all of that fear away. I will begin nursing school this fall and Donna is the reason I intend to pursue my career in an assisted living facility and hopefully memory care! Donna loved all of her fellow residents, one resident in particular absolutely loved Mrs. Donna, she would invite her into her room and offer her a place to sit and would treat Donna with nothing but love. Donna never failed to make me laugh and smile she NEVER failed to make me feel loved, I will miss her hugs so very much and I will miss stopping by on my days off to go visit her, she made a huge impact on my life in the short but valuable amount of time I got to spend with her. She always had a smile on my face and I cannot even begin to describe the significant effect she had on me. On the days I did not want to be at work or I was in a terrible mood, Donna always made my day 100% better, she would always have a smile on her face and would come to me and hug me. Donna and I had a very good relationship from the time I started there and some evenings, the CNA's would rely on me to make sure she ate her dinner, she loved to walk and sometimes that would get in the way way of her eating her dinner, but as soon as I sat down beside her plate she would sit down and make sure to eat all of her food. I hope I expressed my love for her in a way that she could understand. Even with her condition, she always made sure her room was spotless and that her bed was ALWAYS made, she would even clean up after herself at dinner. Nurses would tell me stories about how she used to get down and attempt to clean the base boards and would even snatch up the broom from time to time. My internship was recently defunded so on my last day I went to go see Donna and had no clue she was in her last few days down her on earth. A fellow intern and I layed down with her for nearly 2 hours after we got out of school. This wasn't the Donna we knew and we were heart broken. After some shed tears, lots of prayers, hugs, hand holding and verbal affection being given we both came to peace knowing this was the Lords plans and Donna left an amazing legacy. The following 2 days we also went to go lay with her and make sure she wasn't alone in her last moments here on earth because we had no clue how much longer she was going to be here. We told her how much we loved her and appreciated her and how grateful we are to have had Donna in our lives even for such a short amount of time, we began to see tears come streaming down. Even though she was not conscious, I really pray that she heard us and knew how loved she was. I hope this reaches Donna's family because I would love for you all to know how much she was loved by everyone who encountered her. She was an amazing, loving, nurturing and very funny woman! My name is Kaylee Ausbrooks by the way and I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers during this hard time. Rest in peace my sweet angel Donna!
