LaDonna Jean Murray, 69, of Littlefield, TX passed away on August 14, 2025. She was born on December 2, 1955 in Hereford, TX.

LaDonna grew up in Littlefield and spent her life serving the community. She worked as a cook at the family's drive-in, the Curly Top, making the best comfort food. She worked as a book keeper at Nelson's hardware, and rounded out her career as a pharmacy tech for Roden's and Lowe's Pharmacies where she brought a smile to many faces. She had a special passion for taking care of the elderly, and babies loved her as much as she loved them. She was a talented crocheter and loved to pass out handmade bracelets to spread her happiness to those around her. She enjoyed fishing and camping in the mountains with her family. She had a beautiful heart, an infectious smile, and an unshakeable faith in her Savior.

LaDonna is preceded in death by her father Charles Donald Murray. She is survived by her mother, Norma Jean Murray, her sister, Cathy Demel with husband Eugene Demel, and brother, Charles Murray, as well as cousins Doug and Pat Plunkett. She is survived by 5 nieces and nephews with their spouses, as well as 4 grand-nieces and nephews.

Graveside services to celebrate her life will be held Tuesday, August 19, 2025 at 10 am at the Littlefield Cemetery. The family requests donations to charity in lieu of flowers. Arrangements are under the personal care of Hillcrest Funeral Home in Littlefield.
