Donna Faye Arp, 79, of Seymour, Tennessee, went to be with The Lord and her son Tim on June 14, 2026. Born September 12, 1946, Donna will be remembered as a beloved and cherished presence—devoted in the ways that mattered most, kind-hearted in spirit, and patient in the steady care she showed to those around her.

She also enjoyed traveling, liked to read, and took pleasure in playing card games—moments that reflected her gentle warmth and the calm joy she brought to everyday life. She was a member of The Chapel @ Mountain Lakes Resort.
