Kelly Jean Donn, 43, passed away peacefully at home on April 22, 2026, after fighting stage IV melanoma. She is survived by her daughter Kali Jean Parker and sisters, Tiffany Snyder and Gina Collins. She is preceded in death by her parents Gene and Norma Donn and sister Kelly Sweat. Kelly navigated a life filled with struggles and perseverance. With resilience she would say "We got this." She was a crazy plant lady who enjoyed spending time on her porch, gardening, and listening to her wind chimes. She enjoyed her job driving a school bus. She often referred to the students as "her kids." Kelly cared for them like they were her own. She helped discipline them when needed but also would be one of the first to be there for them in time of need. She enjoyed playing games on a family night or on her phone and loved doing puzzles. Kelly also cherished our times at the beach and fishing. She was always a lover of all animals. These are just a few of Kelly's beautiful attributes, but most of all, she was completely devoted to her daughter, Kali. She was committed and sacrificed for her daily. She loved no one more deeply and, if given the chance, she would do it all again. Kali, you were your mom's greatest treasure and best accomplishment. She was very proud of you. Together we will help you along this journey. Do your very best, stay the course, and remember that you've got this. Mark 12:30, Proverbs 3:5-6
