Donna Powers Obituary

Donna Kay Powers, beloved mother, grandmother, daughter, and friend, was born on July 5, 1960, in New Albany, Indiana. She passed away peacefully on August 7, 2025, in Louisville, Kentucky, leaving behind a legacy of love and devotion to her family.

She devoted her life to her roles as a stay-at-home wife, mother, and grandmother. Her proudest accomplishments were her cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whom she adored deeply. Spending time with family and nurturing those relationships was the cornerstone of her life, and her kindness and warmth had a profound impact on everyone who knew her.

Donna found joy in a variety of activities. She attended Charity Baptist Church in Palmyra, Indiana, enjoyed exploring yard sales, and loved spending time at the lake. A significant thrill in her life came from watching demolition derbies, particularly when her family participated, showcasing their talents and skills. Donna also had a passion for cooking and never missed a chance to engage in a good game of BINGO.

She is survived by her loving mother, Dora Lone, her two daughters, Kelly (Bobby) Poindexter and Jessica (John) Phillips; son, Derick (Becky) Ollis. Donna's legacy continues with her adoring grandchildren, Dustin (Karli), Jacob (Trinity), Tristin, James, Kayla (Arie), Jocelyn, Abby, Preston, Dakota (Kaetlin), Haley, Nikki (Dawson), DJ, Maranda, and her beloved great-grandchildren, Bentley, Isla, Noah, and Harmony. Additionally, she leaves behind two brothers and several nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends who will miss her dearly.

Donna is preceded in death by her husband, Larry Lee Powers, and her father, Earl Lone.
