Donna Kay Black, a compassionate soul known for her generous heart, forever loyalty, and boundless love, was born on October 28, 1960, in Little Rock, Arkansas. Stepping into the world, she filled it with a radiance that would persistently shine throughout her 62 years. Donna's remarkable journey on earth culminated on July 22, 2023, leaving an indelible mark on those who had the privilege to cross her path. Following the wise words of Maya Angelou, Donna truly believed that "In the flush of love's light, we dare be brave. And suddenly we see that love costs all we are, and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free."

Donna resided in Sherwood, Arkansas, for 30 years, where she created a sanctuary of love with her husband, Jeffrey Black, whom she married on June 18, 1986. A woman of simple pleasures, Donna found joy in the little things in life. She reveled in her hobbies—cruising to the western Caribbean, fishing, camping, experimenting with nail art, and playing with her beloved puppies, Bouncer and Trouble. Donna's love was boundless, and she valued her husband and puppies above all else. Her generosity of spirit was legendary, and her radiant smile could light up any room.

Donna is survived by her solemate of 43 years, Jeffrey Black, and her siblings, Gene Prowse (Hong), Randall Prowse, Phillip Prowse(Courtney), and Anita McCrary. She was preceded in death by her parents, Harvey Prowse and Florence (Bradley) Prowse.

In celebrating Donna's vibrant life, we remember the words of Helen Keller, "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart." Donna's spirit was one of those beautiful things.
