It was a pleasure to have been Donnie’s friend through many years. He will be missed and our prayers are with his family.
When I was born Donnie came to the hospital and counted my fingers and toes. My mom didn’t have any siblings and Donnie was her cousin. I always thought of him as a Uncle. ♥️ He was always so kind. We will miss him. Rest in peace.
Donnie VANN will be missed by a lot of folks because he was loved by many! I loved sharing pictures from Helen and Donnie’s trips they did. It was always great conversation when Donnie came to get haircuts ! We would talk about the Lord and events of the past ! Donnie never meet a stranger! I will miss him a lot however he is home with Helen in heaven🙌🏽God Speed Donnie
Prayers for the family
Donnie was such a good friend.. Carl and I loved him and He will be missed.
Donnie was such a nice person. When Bob and I would come to church , we’d sit with Donnie and Helen and they were so nice to us. He always made us smile. Prayers for his family and friends.
Donnie was the best always had a smile and willing to help if needed. He will be missed by many but we know he is singing with our Lord and love ones that he has been missing and we shall meet again.
Prayers for the family. We will miss a good friend that shared his love and his garden. He missed Helen so much, now they are together in Heaven.
When Charlotte died unexpectedly, it was a huge loss for all the family. Donnie would go sit by her grave. Then he met Helen and this wonderful woman brought him back to life. When I came back to Arkansas for Homecoming, Donnie and Helen invited me to sit with them, a kind gesture. I am grateful that I have known Donnie. He made the world a better place with his Christian values.
I just now saw Donnie’s obituary. He and Helen were so nice. I was always happy to see them at church and they both were so kind.
