Donna Gail Davenport's Obituary
Donna Gail Davenport, 72, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family on July 21, 2024. She was born December 6, 1951, in Nashville, Tennessee to George and Hattie Mae Gaddes.
Those who have passed on before her are her parents George and Hattie Mae Gaddes, brothers and sister, Lea Ann, Ronnie, and Marty.
Those left behind to cherish her memory are, children, Hannah (Timbo) Jones, Hallie Denson, Carl Gilbert, Jr., Sunshine (Brandon) Pylant, brother, Mickey Gaddes, grandchildren, Kailyn Jones, Gracie Jones, Jake Jones, Addison Gail Renee Jones (due 12/2024), Joseph Denson, Brianna Denson, Alyssa Denson, Grady Gilbert, and Wyatt Gilbert, and one great grandchild, Roy Jackson Wade.
Donna was a unique character with a heart of gold. She loved children and doted on her children. She was an avid Titans fan and could frequently be found yelling at her tv during games.
Her favorite holiday was Christmas, and she shopped all year long buying presents for her family. Her closets and cupboards were packed all year long with gifts specially selected for her grandkids. She enjoyed watching Hallmark movies and spending time with family during the holidays.
Donna could always be found with a Coke close by as it was her very favorite beverage. Some of her favorite decorating motifs included angels and cardinals and she filled her home with both.
She was a straight shooter and never was shy about expressing her feelings, but once she warmed up to you, she was a fierce and loyal friend.
A celebration of her life will take place at Cedar Hill Park on August 5, 2024, at 3:30pm CST.
