Donna M. Stephenson's Obituary
Donna M. Stephenson of Tavares Florida transitioned on January 9, 2022 at 59 years of age. Donna leaves behind a true soulmate, Steve, three wonderful children, Ashley, Christie, and Jay. Donna especially loved her 10 grandchildren, and 7 great-grandchildren, as well as her loving mother Elva, and lots of connected family members.
Donna was looking forward to being reunited with friends and family that had preceded her in death. She is also looking forward to being reunited with you all on the “flipside” when the time is appropriate.
Donna was a unique personality and loved people as she made lasting friendships that endured her lifetime. She was an environmental engineer by trade, a job that allowed her to travel to many places overseas and different areas of the USA. Later in life, Donna‘s hobby of home painting and remodeling became a semi full-time experience when she went into the rental home business. She was never afraid to tackle any job, and worked with tradesmen she hired as a learning experience. She was on a first name basis with many of the staff at Home Depot… with good reason. But more importantly was the continuous path of spiritual development that Donna pursued. While exploring the depth of her own spiritual journey, she also became a valued guide and advisor to others.
She finished life finding her true soulmate Steve. The two of them developed a deep and loving relationship… ask anyone that knew them. Donna had a very full life, short in time, but abundant in experiences.
She will be missed by all that knew her.
