Donna G. Perry, age 77, of Burlington, KY, peacefully passed away on August 24, 2025. Born in Casey County, KY, on December 24, 1947, to Charles Lynn and Amanda Bessie Johnson Lynn, Donna dedicated herself to nurturing those around her, especially her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren. With a heart full of dedication, Donna retired as a School Bus Monitor with Boone County Schools, where she was known for her kindness and unwavering support to the children she cared for. Her legacy of love continues through her family, who remember her as a pillar of strength and wisdom. Donna is predeceased by her devoted husband, Dennis Perry, who passed away in 1995, and her cherished son, Roger Perry. She is survived by her loving daughter, Angela Perry, along with her treasured grandchildren: Megan (Mark Babinec), Austin (Cheyenne), Daniel, and Chelsea. Her great-grandchildren-Gatlin, Gentry, Gemma, Brayden, Jacqueline, and Monroe-brought joy to her life and will carry forward her spirit. Donna also leaves behind her dear sisters, Jane Troutt and Judy Brown, who will hold her memory close. The visitation will be from 10 AM to 12 PM, followed by the Funeral Service at 12 PM on Thursday, August 28, 2025, at Stith Funeral Home, located at 7500 US 42, Florence, KY 41042. The burial will take place at Corinth Cemetery in Corinth, KY. As we honor Donna's lifelong commitment to family and community, we invite you to make memorial contributions to the American Heart Association at 354 Waller Ave., #110, Lexington, KY 40504. Your kindness will ensure that her legacy of care and compassion continues. To express your condolences and share your memories, please visit us online at www.stithfuneralhome.com.
