Donna was a woman of warmth and compassion, with a heart that touched the lives of many. She had an adventurous spirit and a love for travel, exploring the beauty of the world around her. Donna was equally passionate about animals, and her home was always filled with the joy of pets. She found joy in the company of others, cherishing the moments spent with family and friends.
An avid player of games, Donna reveled in the camaraderie of friendly competition. Her giving nature extended beyond games, as she had a genuine desire to help others in any way she could. Donna's love for her family was immeasurable, and she found joy in the company of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and others who were dear to her heart.
Donna is survived by her sister, Jean Keeton, and daughter, Rhonda Phillips, both of Hawkins, TX. She leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories for her many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and many other's.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Ray Edgar Dalton and Esther Sisk Dalton, as well as her sons and husbands. Although she is no longer with us, her spirit will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to a cause close to Donna's heart, the Kincaid family of Heavner, Oklahoma. Please reach out to Morgan or Rhonda for details on how to contribute to the memorial fund.
