Our mother's soul burst through the Earth's door as it opened on her way to heaven in the early morning hours of April 16, 2025. However, not without the gift of her precious light sprinkled about which will continue to shine through her daughters, Cheryl, Kelly and Stacy; her son, Monte; her sons-in-law, Bob and Johnny; 5 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren; as well as many other family and friends. Mom never met a stranger.

Mom's goal in life was to have children and that she did. Cheryl and Mike were first followed by Kelly, Monte and Stacy. We all felt her love and the warmth of her light. Most children think their mom is all there is, but as they grow into teenagers it all changes. I am proud to say as we became adults, once again - change. We all thought she was the top. She was our rock. She had the biggest shoulders to share our troubles and successes. She was the BEST listener a child or adult child could have.

Mom was preceded in death by her parents, Art and Vertie Sallee; a brother, Kenneth; her husband, Dennis; son, Mike; a grandson, Ryan; and a granddaughter, Hailey.

The family would like to thank CMH Citizens Hospice, especially Casey, whose tender care and genuine concern for our mom and gave us such comfort.

A Celebration of Life will be held June 28, 2025, in Butler, MO at the city park from 2 until 4. Join us for an afternoon of all things Donna Jeane.

A Graveside Service will be held at a date to be determined.

Donations can be made in her honor to Citizens Memorial Hospital Attn: CMH Citizen Hospice 1800 Broadway Bolivar, MO.65613.
