It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Donna Stanley, loving mother, grandmother, and caring nurse, who departed this life on January 19, 2026, at the age of 79. Born on September 12, 1946, Donna lived a rich and fulfilling life, marked by her love for those around her and her dedicated service to her profession.

Donna leaves behind a beautiful family, who were the cornerstone of her life. She is survived by her sons, Tony and Tim Stanley, grandsons Christian and Matthew Stanley, and granddaughter Hope Stanley. Each of them were a source of pride, joy, and deep love for Donna, who always put their needs ahead of her own.

She was predeceased by the love of her life, Ronald Stanley. Theirs was a bond that stood the test of time, a love story that spanned over 50 wonderful years. Ronald's passing was a significant loss for Donna, but she found comfort in the legacy they built together.

Donna was a person of rare warmth and selflessness. Her personable nature endeared her to many, and her capacity to love and care knew no bounds. This was not only evident in her interactions with her family and friends but also through the compassion she showed her patients during her noteworthy career as a nurse.

Friends and loved ones are invited to celebrate Donna's life at a memorial service scheduled for January 31, 2026, at 6:00 PM. The service will be held at Tyler Memorial Funeral Home - Cemetery and Mausoleum. As we come together to remember and appreciate Donna's beautiful life, we are reminded of her enduring love and enduring spirit that will forever be a part of us.

We mourn the loss of Donna, but we also celebrate the way she lived, loved, and made a difference in so many lives. Her spirit carries on in the family she adored, the profession she dedicated herself to, and the many lives she touched with her love and kindness.
