Samuel "Sam" Louis Donnell

Sam was a loving husband, father, grandfather and a friend to many. He was a hard worker who enjoyed farming and working his land. He had a love for Bluegrass music and he'd always say "I am going to jump in where I can and try to hang on" with his guitar. He was very proud of his military service in the marine corps. Sam retired from Overnite Trucking Company after over 30 years of service with them. To know him was to love him.

A funeral service will be held on Sunday, August 1, 2021 at 3:00 p.m. at The Loflin Funeral Home Chapel with Pastor Willie Pickard officiating. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service at the funeral home. He will be laid to rest in Sandy Creek Baptist Church Cemetery.

He was the son of the late Merritt Aydelette and Mozelle Ritter Donnell and was also preceded in death by his first wife, Sue Rogers Donnell.

Surviving is his wife of nine years, Bonnie Layton Donnell; daughters, Barbara Ramsey (Donnie) and Lisa Fogleman (Dean); son, Steve Peterson (Patty); brother, Marvin Donnell (Marilyn); step-daughter, Jessica Parrott; step-son, Ethan Allred; grandchildren, Larry Lawyer, Eric Peterson, Allen Peterson, Jacob Fogleman, Jared Fogleman, and Justin Fogleman; two step-grandchildren, Cole Parrott and Alaia Allred; and six great-grandchildren.
