Donna was 75yrs old, when she passed. She passed peacefully in her sleep, and had been happy and alert in her last days. Donna was a butterfly, most of her life. She fluttered from place to place, bringing color and mystery with her. Her life experiences were as much of a myriad, as the colors she would bring with her. She was a bit of a prankster extraordinaire, but her intents were always for laughter. Her kaleidoscope of light and robust laugh, will sorely be missed.

Surviving family:
Sister: Linda Sue (Winchester) Cunningham
Daughter and Son in Law: Dawn D Gower-Godfrey and William R Godfrey, III
Niece: Carolyn J Brown

And a wide array of extended family and friends, ranging from the Eastern Coast all the way over to Texas.
