Donna Kay Sullivan

Heaven recently gained an incredible angel. Donna Kay Sullivan fought a good fight and finished her race on March 23, 2015. She was born on February 16, 1963. Donna had four great loves in her life: her relationship with Jesus Christ, her family, her friends, and her teaching career. To know Donna was to love her. Donna’s life embodied the example of a generous and serving Christian woman. She was a loving wife, mother, sister, friend, and a dedicated teacher. Donna had a ready smile, a zest for life, a gift of giving, a passion for teaching, and was happiest when helping others. She constantly pursued perfection in all that she did; she sought to leave this world a better place for having been here. Donna’s personality was that of a kind soul and gentle spirit. Donna made others feel unique and special, and her colleagues were treated with professionalism and respect. We are honored to have known and loved Donna, and we celebrate the privilege that it has been to know and to love this sweet wife, wonderful mother, precious sister, faithful friend, and amazing teacher! Donna Kay Sullivan was preceded in death by her mother, Patricia Gentry; father, Willie Hampton, Sr. She is survived by her husband, Shel Sullivan; two daughters, Jordan Radkiewicz and Tori Radkiewicz; one stepdaughter, Shanell Ingram; one stepson, Shane Sullivan; and five grandchildren, Amelia and Ruby Sullivan, Adian, Micah, and Liam Ingram. She is also survived by three sisters Cathy Pharr, Gail Crow, and Denise Foster; one brother, Billy Hampton; and several nieces and nephews.
