Born on January 23, 1960, LaDonna was the beloved daughter of the late Billye Corono Fox Dial. A lifelong woman of faith, she worshipped with the North View church of Christ, where her steadfast devotion was well known and deeply appreciated.
LaDonna found joy in the simple, meaningful moments of life. She loved watching films based on Biblical scripture, spending time outdoors feeding birds and squirrels, and getting lost in the pages of Lillian Jackson Braun’s “The Cat Who...” mystery series. She especially cherished scenic drives through Amish country, often accompanied by close friends—moments filled with peace, reflection, and companionship.
Her gentle nature and thoughtfulness extended to all living things, and she held a special place in her heart for both animals and those in need. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to the Churches of Christ Disaster Relief Effort, Inc., 410 Allied Drive, Nashville, TN 37211, or to the Maury County Animal Shelter, 1233 Mapleash Ave, Columbia, TN.
The family would like to express heartfelt gratitude to the caregivers at Poplar Estates, Mt. Pleasant Health and Rehabilitation Center, and the compassionate team at Hospice Compassus, all of whom cared for LaDonna with kindness and dignity.
A graveside service will be held at Polk Memorial Gardens on Friday, November 7, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., with Bro. Jeremy Butt officiating.
LaDonna’s presence will be deeply missed, but her faith, kindness, and quiet joys will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
