DUBLIN, Ind. — Donna Jo went to be with the Lord in Heaven on March 26th.
She was a loving Granny, Mamaw, Mother, Daughter, Sister, and Wife.
She worked at Meadowview Regional Hospital as a Respiratory Therapist for over forty years.
She loved her family and friends and enjoyed working puzzles and spending time with her grandchildren. She was a huge UK basketball fan and never missed a game.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 48 years Larry Moran, her mother Nellie Esham, her father Norman Esham, and brother Norman Esham Jr.
By her wishes there will not be a service and all condolences can be made here online.

I´m so sorry to read of Donna´s passing.
Donna was a friend of my older sisters in school. Therefore, we also became friends and, she helped me numerous times in the hospital. In fact, when Code Blue was called for my husband after a heart cath, Donna was part on the team who came to help him.
Donna always had a smile on her face and a quick easy laugh.
She will be missed by all who knew her here in Maysville. My condolences to all of her family. I pray you all, especially her grandchildren, will find comfort as you recall special memories.

Oh I´m so sorry to hear of Donna´s passing. I loved working with her at Hayswood and later Meadowview. She had some serious health issues later in her life, but she never complained. She was an angel here on earth. May the souls of the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace! I love you Donna.
