Donna Marie Paugh, 72, of Augusta, West Virginia, passed away peacefully on September 26, 2025.

Born on April 19, 1953, in Baltimore, MD, Donna was the daughter of the late Millard and Ruth Callender. She was also preceded in death by her brothers Kenneth, Ronald, and Thomas Callender.

Donna was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She is survived by her beloved husband of 51 years, David Paugh; her children Dawn Kraft (William), Dana Herman (Matthew), Destiny Mullan (Ryan), and David Paugh (Erin); her cherished grandchildren Zachary Stripling (Madison), Jaina Mullan, Ryan Herman, Aubree Kraft, Benjamin Kraft, Cooper Herman, Ava Mullan, and Evan Paugh; and her great-grandson, Greyson Stripling. She is also survived by her brother James Callender and numerous nieces and nephews.

A homemaker by heart and vocation, Donna found joy in caring for her family and serving her community through Christ Community Church and Augusta Volunteer Rescue Squad. Her faith was a guiding light throughout her life, and she was known for her kindness, warmth, and unwavering devotion to those she loved.

Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched and the love she gave so freely.

A memorial service to celebrate the life and legacy of Donna will be held on Sunday, October 12, 2025, at 1:00 PM at Christ Community Church of Augusta, WV (74 Hollow Farm Lane August, WV 26704).

Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance and honor her enduring spirit.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Christ Community Church to support the children's initiatives that Donna passionately championed.
