Mrs. Donna enjoyed being in the kitchen. She was always cooking something and have people over to eat. If you told her dinner was for 5 people, she would plan enough food for about 25. If you left her house hungry, that was your own fault. Donna never met a stranger, if someone was in need of something, she was always there to help those in need. She loved her big, blended family. She was a loving mother to many people, and she will be truly missed.

Mrs. Donna is survived by her husband, Jerry Jackson; children, Tishia (Lewis) Tucker, Kelley (Jason) Rouser, Wade (Maria) Chadd, Scott (Karen) Garber, Sid (Linda) Garber, and Leasa (Mike) Delp; siblings, Delbert (Myrna) Sims, and Sherril Jackson; 16 grandchildren; 10 great grandchildren, 2 great-great grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
