Donna Lynn Clark departed this earth towards Heaven at approximately 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday evening, October 26, 2022.
She was born to the late Mr. Harold Melvin Swartz and Mrs. Mary Margarie Douglas of Fort Pierce, Florida, on January 17, 1950.
She is survived by her beloved Gordon Clark of Demorest and sister Michele Abney of Arkansas. She is also survived by her youngest son, wife, and grandson – Justin Harold, Elaine Irene, and Holden James Barnes of Demorest, Georgia. Additionally, she is survived by her eldest son, wife, and grandson(s) – Dwane Allen, Stephani, Dustin, and Cody Barnes of Tennessee.
Donna enjoyed the warm sun in Florida but sought to start a new chapter of life in the foothills of North Georgia in 1994 after her children were raised and there she has resided since. She enjoyed gardening, ceramic painting, and birdwatching… in fact, she could tell you the details of every species by just an audible chirp or faint sighting! Her son Dwane mentioned her saying once to him that “living here was like being in her own little piece of Heaven”.
She will always be loved & sorely missed, but we are encouraged & delighted by God’s Word which reminds us that while she cannot return to us, we will however go to her in that hour when God calls us to enter our new Heavenly home in His glorious kingdom. God is good, and His timing is perfect for those who are called according to His purpose.
