Mrs. Donna Burnette Mullins ,age 80, went home to be with the Lord on January 3, 2025, after a long illness. She was a member of the North Rockwood Baptist Church and a 1963 graduate of Rockwood High School. She was a retired note teller at First National Bank of Rockwood.

Throughout her life, Donna devoted herself to her faith and her family. Alongside her husband, she served in various capacities of ministry, sharing her love for the Lord in meaningful and impactful ways. Her contributions included teaching Sunday School, directing Christmas programs, and organizing Vacation Bible School sessions that touched the lives of many.

Donna was the epitome of love and dedication—a devoted wife, a cherished mother, a proud grandmother, and a doting great-grandmother. Her gentle spirit, unwavering faith, and nurturing presence enriched the lives of all who knew her.

While her absence leaves an irreplaceable void, we rejoice in the knowledge that Donna is now at peace, enjoying the eternal glory of heaven. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by her family, friends, and all whose lives she so beautifully touched.
