Donna Lynn Greaves

Donna Lynn Greaves, aged 66, of Columbus, Georgia, passed away on May 4, 2025. Born on March 4, 1959, in Kannapolis, North Carolina, Donna was a beacon of joy and creativity, touching the lives of all who knew her.

The daughter of Wayne Howard and Sue Evelyn (Deal) Gallman, Donna grew up in a world filled with warmth and kindness. Although she was preceded in death by her parents, her legacy is carried on through her cherished family. Donna is survived by her two devoted sons, Jason Allen McKendree and Tyler Clayton Youngblood; her caring stepfather, Michael Gallman; and her supportive brothers, Michael Howard and Steven Gallman, along with his wife Kelly. Each of them reflects a piece of her generous spirit.

Donna's life was a tapestry of love, service, and artistic expression. She found solace in the simple pleasures of life, such as Alabama football, which brought excitement and a sense of community. Her artistic talents shone brightly through her engaging arts and crafts, and her passion for therapeutic coloring books provided both her and others with a sense of peace and accomplishment. Donna's love for the outdoors was evident in her frequent visits to the beach, where she collected seashells and cherished the tranquility of the ocean. Her garden was a testament to her nurturing nature, flourishing under her attentive care and providing beauty for all to enjoy..

Donna's life was one of engagement and enjoyment, and she approached every day with a heart full of gratitude. Her laughter was infectious, her smile was a source of comfort, and her kindness was limitless. She was a pillar of resilience and grace, and her influence will continue to be felt far and wide.

As we bid farewell to Donna, we celebrate a life well-lived, a journey marked by love, creativity, and generosity. She was a cherished mother, daughter, sister, and friend. Her memory will be treasured in the hearts of her loved ones and all who were fortunate enough to cross paths with her.
