Donna Marie Whiles

She was preceded in death by her husband Wando Whiles, her parents Robert Sewell and Mildred (Stevens) Sewell, her son Robert (Butch) Earl Horn, two grandchildren and one great grandchild. She also was preceded in death by her younger sisters, Roberta Pace, Charlene Cochran, Grace Washburn, Millie Johnson, Linda Riley.

Donna spent most of her working years in the banking industry working at Victory State Bank and Security Bank before retiring in 1990 after 14 years at Guaranty State Bank.

She enjoyed having visitors and was one of the kindest people you could ever meet. She always had the best stories about her life. Her favorite pastime was crocheting. She crocheted blankets for all her children and grandchildren and could easily master any crochet book pattern. She also collected bears and relished each one. One of her favorite things was looking out her kitchen window in the spring and summer at her flowers in the back yard.

Donna is survived by her children Trina Hefton (Tim) of Kansas City, Kansas, Wayne Whiles (Debbie) of Overland Park, Kansas, Teresa Lewis (Morgan) of Shawnee, Kansas, and Tammy Washburn of Kansas City, KS. She is also survived by two daughters from a previous marriage Cheryl Peddicord (Mort) of Shawnee, Kansas and Debra Davenport of Jefferson City, MO. She was loved by all of her children and will be deeply missed.

Donna leaves 17 grandchildren, 36 great grandchildren, and 25 great great grandchildren; all whom she loved dearly.

It was her dream to live to be 100.

Funeral services will be at Chapel Hill Funeral Home, 701 N. 94th Street, Kansas City, Kansas on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, at 12:00 pm with visitation prior to the service at 11:00 am.
