Donna attended Barringer High School in Newark, New Jersey, where she developed the strong values and work ethic that would guide her throughout her life. She dedicated more than 30 years of her professional career to customer service with EJ Brooks, where she was respected for her dedication, kindness, and commitment to helping others.
A devoted member of New Hope Church, Donna's faith was a cornerstone of her life. She found great joy in worship, fellowship, and serving her community. More than anything, Donna cherished her family. She was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend whose warmth and compassion touched everyone she met.
Donna is survived by her children, Darcel Brown, William Brown, Derek Brown Sr., and Keith Brown. She was a proud grandmother to Kiana Gatling, Tiffany Gatling, Christopher Gatling, Darah Young, Keith Brown Jr., Derek Brown Jr., Joseph Ward, Jahkya Brown, Jackie Brown, Kyle McMikle, Jaida Wright, and Savione Mitchell.

She is also survived by her siblings, Pearl Bryant, David Bryant, and Dina Bryant. She was preceded in death by her brother, Darius Bryant.
Donna's life was defined by her unwavering love for her family, her dedication to her faith, and her desire to help those around her. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, strength, and devotion that will continue to inspire all who knew and loved her.
Though she will be deeply missed, her memory will forever live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and all whose lives she touched.
