Donna Marie (Owens) Warner

Donna Marie (Owens) Warner, a loving mother, grandmother, and cherished member of the community, will be celebrated in a joyful service to honor her life and legacy. Born on October 28, 1946, Donna passed away on June 19, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love and kindness that touched the lives of many.

A graduate of Ashtabula High School, Donna embarked on a meaningful career driving a school bus for over 25 years, dedicating herself to ensuring the safety and well-being of countless children. Her passion extended beyond her professional life, as she became a guiding force for young girls in the community, serving as a chaperone and Queens Director for the Marigold Festival, Strawberry Festival, and Ox Roast Festival, where she made each participant feel like royalty. Donna's love for her family knew no bounds, and she cherished every moment spent with her children and grandchildren. She found great joy in cheering for her favorite sports teams, the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Ohio State Buckeyes, and enjoyed simple pleasures like reading, solving crossword puzzles, and dining out.

Donna is survived by her children Lisa (Ty) Dulin and Chris (Leslee) Warner, grandchildren Joshua, Garrett, Kaleigh, Molly, and Natalie, brother in law Bob (Lyn) Warner, sisters in law Jane (Brooks) Beery and Lucinda (Glenn) Gulick, and grand dogs Rylee and Gus. Donna was preceded in death by her parents, her loving husband of 39 years, Gilbert "Butch" Warner, her son Jeremy Warner, and her dear friend, Judy Miller.
