Donna Spencer Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Seymour Funeral Home and Cremation Service - Goldsboro on Feb. 24, 2026.
Donna Wright Spencer, 64, passed away suddenly on Sunday, February 22, 2026, at her home.

Born in Lompoc, California, on May 21, 1961, Donna was the daughter of the late Donald Edward Wright and Shirley Lanier Wright.

Donna had a deep love for life's simple pleasures. She was an avid gardener who found joy in tending her flowers and watching them bloom. She also enjoyed painting, expressing her creativity through color and canvas. Donna was known for speaking her mind and sharing her thoughts openly with those around her-an honesty that was unmistakably her own.

Above all, her greatest joy was her family. Her grandchildren were truly the apple of her eye, and she would do anything for them. The love she had for them was evident in every story she told and every moment she spent in their presence.

Donna is survived by her children, Jessica Marie Plummer and husband, Kenneth; Donald Lee Faircloth, Jr. and wife, Jennifer; and Christopher Wayne Powell; her cherished grandchildren, Cody Woodall, Aiden Woodall, Cameron Plummer, Addison Plummer, and Jacob Faircloth; her sisters, Teresa West and Tina Wright; and several nieces and nephews whom she loved very much.

Donna will be remembered by her family in a private service. Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
