Donna was born August 22, 1934, in Bartlett, Texas, to Roy Barton and Theodosia Vonelle (Townsend) Stockton. She attended Bartlett ISD and was a lifelong member of First Baptist Church of Bartlett. On October 27, 1951, she married the love of her life, Bill Pierce, at Val Verde Baptist Church. He preceded her in death on March 24, 2021.
Donna dedicated many years of service to her community, working as an aide and secretary for Bartlett ISD for 24 years. She also worked as a secretary for the City of Bartlett and for Dr. Goodnight in Holland.
Donna’s home was the heart of countless family gatherings filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable meals. Known affectionately as “Memaw,” she created lasting memories for her numerous grandchildren, often jokingly calling the girls “Lucy” and the boys “George.” Her cooking was legendary—especially her Thanksgiving dressing and banana pudding—and she took great joy in sharing her recipes with her family. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who deeply loved her family.
She enjoyed crossword puzzles, shopping, and, most of all, spending time with her family and friends. She loved watching sports, especially when her children or grandchildren were playing. Donna was known for her sweet spirit, kindness, and grace, and she was truly a beacon of light to all who knew her.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Bill Pierce; and her sister, Nancy Severn.
She is survived by her children, Linda Broussard and husband David, Janet McIntosh and husband Robert, Barton Pierce and wife Tammy, Sam Pierce and wife Mary, and Mike Pierce and wife Yolanda; brother, Andy Stockton and wife Clara; grandchildren, Teresa Drake and husband Kenneth, Michelle Broussard and fiancé Joe Faubion, Brad Broussard and wife Brittani, Shannon Caldwell and husband Keith, Cory Pierce and wife Chelsey, Lindsey Pierce, Rob McClanahan and wife Meghan, Marie McIntosh, Erin Pierce, Kaci Moore and husband Terry, Amber Velasquez and husband David, Justin Pierce and wife Megan, Alyssa Macik and husband Marcus, Ryan Pierce and wife Kristal, and Ethan Pierce and fiancé Danielle Lopez; great-grandchildren, Chayton Drake and wife Maddie, Pierce Drake and wife Payton, Brinlee and Braiden Broussard, Kyler, Kalan, Kinley, and Kolbi Caldwell, Creed and Cayslee Pierce, Braxton and MariLyn Pierce, Maeve and Jack McClanahan, Samuel Castillo, Terryn and Jaisa Moore, Landon Velasquez, Zane, Vivian, and Celeste Macik, Cannon, Zachary, and Blaine Pierce, and Lucia and Cecilia Pierce; and her great-great-grandchildren, Carter Drake, Lillian Drake, and Meridith Drake.
