It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Donna Kay Martin, who was born on November 22, 1954, in Pontotoc, Mississippi, and departed from this world on December 23, 2025, at the age of 71. Donna was a cherished member of her family and community, known for her warm spirit and deep love for her children and grandchildren. 

Donna leaves behind her beloved daughter, Sera Martin; her son, John Dailey; her daughter-in-law, Angie Dailey; her grandsons, Marc Dailey (Ashton), and Hunter Dailey (Emily); her great-grandsons, Karson Dailey and Kayden Dailey; and adopted son, Aaron Dunahue; and her dear sister, Linda Nelson. She was a proud mother and grandmother, always ready to share a story, offering encouragement, and showering her family with love. 

She found joy in the simple pleasures of life, including her love for movies and television, her fondness for sharing the latest gossip, and her dislike of sitting in silence, which gave way to her passion for talking to everyone and filling her home with warmth and laughter. A devoted member of New Faith Baptist Church, Donna found solace and strength in her faith and in Jesus, which guided her through life's challenges. 

Mrs. Donna will be laid to rest on December 27, 2025, with a private family graveside. 

The family would like to extend their appreciation to the doctors and nurses at North Mississippi Medical Center during this time. 

In celebrating her life, may we remember Donna's laughter, her unwavering faith, and the love she extended to all around her. She will be deeply missed yet lovingly remembered by all who knew her. 

Donna was preceded in death by Fred Martin, Boyd Weeden, and Peggy Sue Weeden.

Glenfield Funeral Home is honored to be entrusted with the arrangements and care of Mrs. Donna Martin.
