Donna Sellars Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Welch Funeral Home - Marks Chapel on Feb. 5, 2026.
Donna Fay Sellars passed away peacefully, surrounded by love in the comfort of her home in Hague VA, on February 2, 2026.

Born June 14, 1945, Donna had a great many family members waiting to greet her in Paradise; her mother and father, Herbert and Eleanor Fay, her daughter, Kimberly A. Sellars, her father- and mother-in-law, Harry and Mattie Sellars, brother and sister-in-law Ronnie and Sandy Fay and sister and brother-in-law, Nancy and Harvey Sallee, but certainly the one who ran to those Heavenly gates to clasp her the closest was her beloved husband of 54 years, Donald Ray Sellers, who passed on May 26 of 2025.

Donna never truly recovered from her broken heart after Don's unexpected passing, but her days were made bright by her special caregiver, friend, and great-niece, Kayla Jones, who lifted Donna up and helped her experience the world again after it was shattered that sad day. She is dearly loved by her niece, Denise Jones, and her nephew David Sallee (Dana), niece Laurie (Kenny), several great nieces and nephews, her longtime family friend Stevie Riner, and all the friends she made in her 40 years working at C&P Telephone, which would later become Verizon.

Donna, Don, and their daughter Kim will be interred together at Windsor Memorial Gardens at 80 Soles Lane, Dutton, VA 23050 on February 21, 2026. Their family invites friends to attend the service at 2:00pm.
