Donna Kay Eaves

In the morning of August 13, 2011, Donna Kay Sitzler Eaves gently left her home in Benton, TN to live forever in the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Donna had courageously fought with unwavering faith, a battle against cancer. She was a loving, compassionate, giving, hard working, precious and devoted wife, mother and sister, dear to all her family. She joyously reunited with her parents, Reverend Ben and Madalene Sitzler, little sister, Sally Jane, and father-in-law, Bill Eaves.
