Donna Maxine Kingery, 81, of Lesage, West Virginia, went to her heavenly home on October 3, 2026.
Born on November 6, 1944, Donna lived a simple, beautiful life filled with love from her family and friends. She was known for her warm heart, her beautiful smile, and the joy she found in the simple things in life. Donna had a special love for her dog, Benji, who brought her countless moments of happiness and companionship.
Donna was blessed to live with her devoted sister and best friend, Dreama Bailey, who lovingly cared for her throughout the years. Dreama’s tireless dedication, laughter, patience, and tender care allowed Donna to live life to the fullest, surrounded by love, warmth, and security. Their bond was a beautiful testament to the love between sisters and the gift of unconditional family.
Donna was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond Edgar and Gladys Belle Kingery; her sister, Janet Kingery; her brother, Raymond Lee Kingery; and her brothers-in-law, Forrest Robert Bailey and Jerry Thompson.
She leaves behind her loving sisters, Dreama Bailey, Dottie (Jim) Scarberry, and Dotsie “Jake” Thompson, along with several nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews who absolutely adored her.
Donna’s life was a reminder of what truly matters. She lived with a pure and loving heart, never needing much to find happiness. She showed those around her how to love unconditionally, laugh often, and see the beauty in everyone. If we could all learn to live the way Donna did, the world would surely be a much brighter place.
Her smile, her laughter, her kindness, and her gentle spirit will remain in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
Donna will be deeply missed, but the love she gave so freely will live on in the many lives she touched.
Until we meet again, rest peacefully in your heavenly home, Donna.
Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday at Wallace Funeral Home, Barboursville. Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday, October 6, 2026, at Wallace Funeral Home & Chapel, Barboursville.
