Donna Simmons
September 27, 1932 - August 6, 2023
Donna Simmons died August 6, 2023 at Lawrence Hall Nursing Home of Walnut Ridge.
She was born on September 27, 1932 to Jarvie Logan Stephenson and Tempie Lee Johnson Stephenson in Leachville, Arkansas. Donna and her family moved to the Alicia area in 1937 after the big Mississippi River flood of 1937. She married the love of her life and her best friend, her beloved Tommy Simmons.
The first time she met Tommy, she said,"I am going to marry him!" They truly were as one. Now she is with him again. Always kind and hardworking, Donna will be sadly missed. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend.
Preceding her in death are her parents and her husband Tommy Simmons.
Left to mourn her passing are her son: Tommy Wayne Simmons and his wife, Katrina of Bourbonnais, Illinois; two grandchildren: Logan and his wife, Jennifer from Oklahoma and Tristin and her husband, Randy from Illinois; four great grandchildren: Landon, Madeline, Kayden, and Charlotte; several nieces and nephews; and also 5 brothers-in-law and 3 sisters-in-law.
