Donna Jean Barnes

July 24, 1939 - March 2, 2022

Donna Jean (Shepard) Barnes, 82, entered heaven’s gates on March 2, 2022, surrounded by her loving family. Donna is survived by her husband of 63 years, Hurd Lee Barnes; children, Kellie (Ed) Sullivan, Tammy (Mitch) Long, Mark (Molly) Barnes, Robert (Rosie) Barnes, and Thomas (Michelle) Barnes; 17 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; 3 great-great-grandchildren; brother, Harry Shepard; son-in-law, Jerry “Bimbo” Sullivan; and many relatives and friends. Donna was predeceased by daughter, Tracy Sullivan; sisters, Joan Shepard, Laura Shepard, and Weslee Calvert; brothers, Thomas Shepard and Terry Shepard; and her parents, John Wesley and Mary Jane Shepard, all of Portage, Indiana. Donna was a fantastic mother, loving grandmother and great-grandmother, and wonderful sister, mother-in-law, and friend. Her feisty spirit, mischievous smile, and tell-it-like-it-is demeanor will be greatly missed. Donna grew up and raised her family in Portage, leaving there for the mountains of Arkansas and eventually Cullman, Alabama. She enjoyed family card nights, cooking for a crowd, bingo nights with her mom, and making people laugh. According to Donna’s wishes, no service will be held. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to a charity of your choice. The family wishes to send a special thank you to the staff at the Summerford Nursing Home and Hospice of North Alabama for their generous care and compassion.
