Donna's laughter could fill a room, and her vibrant spirit was as contagious as her smile. Spontaneous adventures were her trademark, leaving behind a trail of happy memories for those who knew her. She possessed a magnetic personality that drew people in, making them feel instantly at ease and ready for whatever fun Donna had planned.

Children adored Donna. Her playful nature and endless capacity for fun made her a natural companion for them. Donna was a tomboy at heart, perfectly happy to trade dolls for fishing rods and explore the beauty of the outdoors. This love of nature, combined with her nurturing spirit, made her an amazing mother. She was fiercely dedicated to her daughter, always striving to do the absolute best she could to provide her with love, support, and a lifetime of cherished memories. Her daughter loved her very much.

Donna is survived by her daughter, Josie Cheever of Haysville; six siblings: Angie Taylor of Augusta; Johnathan Goodwin of El Dorado; Leanne Cook of Alabama; Doug Cox of Caledonia, Mississippi; Erin Kirkpatrick of El Dorado; and Kelly Kirkpatrick of Eureka; and a host of nephews, nieces, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, March 30, 2024, at Phillip’s Cabin, at Eureka Lake. Cremation has been effected. Inurnment will take place at a later date at Janesville Cemetery.
