DONNA TOWNSEND

Donna Mae Fox Townsend Age 85, peacefully entered her eternal home on Wednesday morning September 21, 2016, at her home of 65 years in Milton where she had been a resident over 75 years. She was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years Tom Sr., Mom and Dad Otis and Esther Fox, her brother Jack Fox and sister Susan Brinkman. Donna is survived by her four children, Elizabeth Stahlschmidt, Debbie Townsend, Tom Townsend, Jr. (Gina), and Terri Townsend. She was blessed with 9 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and her first great-great grandbaby on the way, her sister Judie Johnson, brother Terry Fox (Carolyn), numerous nieces and nephews, her treasured best friend of 75 years Delores Wilson and many dear friends. Donna worked in the Fife School District for over 30 years as cook/baker manager at Milton Elementary, Surprise Lake Middle School and Fife High School cafeterias where she was cheerfully known as "Grandma" by many. We wish to thank our heaven sent caregiving angels: JoAnn, Jasai, Jenifer, Shantell, Ruth, Cheryl, Leah, Misti, Lolita, Natalie, and Arron. You all so lovingly took care of our Momma.
