Born on March 7, 1953 in Ponca City, Oklahoma, Donna grew up in Oklahoma and, over the years, made meaningful connections while living in Texas, New York, Michigan, and Indiana before eventually making her home in Kentucky. It was there in Louisville she found her home-away-from-home as part of the Broadway Baptist Church community, dedicating her time to organizing and supporting church activities and events. She also enjoyed planning trips for the church, echoing the hospitality and coordination she brought to her earlier work as a travel agent.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Delbert and Vera Robison; her husband, Randall Williams; and her sister, Judy Powers (Steve). She is survived by her sister, Connie Thomas (Larry); her son, Arrin (Kelly Strezo); and her in-laws, Steve Williams (Sheri) and Kelly Williams (Sandy).
A private family burial will be held at Abundant Life Cemetery in New Albany on Friday, December 5, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. ET. A public memorial service will follow at 11:00 a.m. ET at Broadway Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky.
Expressions of sympathy may be made to Broadway Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky, where contributions will be directed toward the church’s travel and music ministries.
