DONNA MARIE WELLS

Donna Marie Wells, born on June 21, 1955, in the vibrant heart of San Francisco, left this world on September 21, 2024, in Dallas, Texas, leaving behind an indelible mark on all knew her. With a spirit with faith and a heart brimming with love, Donna lived her life as a testament to spiritual, hard work, and an unwavering commitment to family and community.

From a young age, Donna's deep-rooted belief in Jesus shone brightly in her daily life. “I believe in Jesus, do you?” she would often declare with the warmth only a true believer could embody, inviting others into the comforting embrace of her faith. Her passion for her beliefs was mirrored in her active participation at church, a place where she found solace and connection, both in worship and fellowship.

A quintessential homemaker, Donna was a beacon of love and support to her family, particularly proud of her pivotal role in raising her granddaughter. It was in the nurturing of her family that she found her deepest joys—a legacy not born of material possessions but woven into the very fabric of cherished moments and shared laughter.

With an enthusiasm that could light up the darkest days, Donna loved to cook and bake, her culinary creations a magnet for family gatherings. Among her many specialties, her lemon meringue pie was legendary—a sweet creation that encapsulated the essence of home and heart. Likewise, her love for music, especially the powerful melodies of gospel singer Shirley Caesar, filled her home with sounds that uplifted spirits and united loved ones in soulful harmony.

A true testimony of her character, Donna was a relentlessly hard worker, dedicating her time not only to her family but also to helping others in her community. Her hands were never idle; they were always reaching out, offering assistance, kindness, and a listening ear to those in need. This sense of duty and empathy resonated throughout her life, inspiring all who crossed her path.

Family and friends are invited to honor Donna’s legacy and celebrate her life during a viewing on October 2, 2024, from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM, followed by a Celebration of Life service on October 3, 2024, at 11:00 AM. Both gatherings will take place at the Golden Gate Funeral Home in Dallas, Texas.

As we gather to reminisce, let us remember Donna Marie Wells not just for her passing, but for the remarkable essence she brought to life—a soul that believed earnestly, worked tirelessly, and loved unconditionally. She now rests in peace, eternally wrapped in the light she so fervently embraced throughout her days.
