Donna Arleen Sanders was born on May 15, 1968, in Bowling Green, Kentucky. She lived a life full of memories and connections until her passing on May 30, 2026, at Greenwood Nursing Home. Donna was a woman who touched the lives of many around her.

She has chosen cremation, a decision reflecting her personal wishes.

Donna came from a large family. She was preceded in death by her parents, Carlos and Lorene Sanders, who laid the foundation for her journey in life. She also mourned the loss of several siblings: Rick Sanders, Teresa Sanders, Judy Smith, Debbie Stice, and Ronald Sanders, a little baby brother. 

Though many of her family members have passed, Donna leaves behind several loving siblings who were close to her throughout her life. Beverly Taylor, Sue Suddarth and her husband Jim, Melinda Baker and her husband Mike, and Lester Sanders with his wife Machell survive her, as well as her sister-in-law, Myra Sanders. These siblings were a part of Donna's life story, sharing moments of joy, support, and companionship.

Donna’s passing marks the end of a chapter, but her memory will remain with those who knew her. She will be remembered simply, with respect and love for the life she lived and the family she cherished.

Her story is one woven into the everyday fabric of family and community. It reminds us of the importance of connection, love, and the quiet strength of a life well-lived.
