Donna Jean (Kilgore) Sanner peacefully passed away at the age of 69 at her home in Searcy. She was born on July 27, 1955, in Carlisle, Arkansas as one of six children to Harry Oscar and Mary Lou (Scott) Kilgore.

Donna attended the Des Arc public schools and graduated High School in 1973. She was known by her classmates and friends, for her warm smile and ever-happy demeanor. Growing up Donna shared strong bonds with her siblings that were always a testament to the importance of love and support within a family. Donna carried these traits with her during her career caring for others at the Des Arc Nursing Home and working with the farming community at Sanner Oil Company. When time allowed Donna enjoyed fishing, gardening and tending to her flowers, which brought her great joy.

In addition to her dedication to family, Donna was a member of the Faith Missionary Baptist Church.

In the last few years her health began to fail.  At this time, she moved into the home of her granddaughter and husband, Porcelain and Jake Mater and their children, until her death on Friday, February 7.

She leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories for her surviving family members, including her brothers Carl Kilgore, Tommy Kilgore (Cindy), and Billy Kilgore, as well as two grandchildren, Donovan Farrish and Porcelain (Jake) Mater, seven great-grandchildren, Aiden Mater, Adalynn Mater, Logan Farrish, Bentley Cole, Atlas Mater, Levi Farrish, Leeland Farrish and many step grandchildren and great grandchildren. Donna was preceded in death by her loving parents, her children (RT) Roger Cagle and Rhnae Kilgore, and siblings Ricky Kilgore and Phyllis Roberts.
