Donna enjoyed caring for, loving and playing with her grandchildren which all held a special place in her heart. Donna also loved being around her family and friends. Donna always had a smile on her face that lit up the room and almost always, strangers became friends. Throughout Donna’s life she touched many people’s lives, she had a heart of gold and always would lend a hand when needed and an ear to listen. Donna was known for all the wise words she shared with others. Donna’s children, grandchildren and great grandchild were the utmost importance above all else and she was their biggest supporter.

To the Family and friends of Donna Tilmon…I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Donna.
