Born in Duncan, OK on June 13, 1934 to John Barlow and Ollie Ebbie (Bowden) Pyron, Donna was raised and educated in her birth community. It should be mentioned that her father was the only person that called her Dona throughout her life. Donna married the fathers of her children, Jack Wever and James Willis. These unions were gifted with ten children and the first one arrived when Donna was 16 years old. They were Stanley, Jackie, Jimmy, Barry, Gregory, Rebecca, Patricia, Debbie, Carla and Kathy. Although Donna worked outside the home in later life as a home health nurse, up until then she excelled at being a wife and mother. She was grounded in the teaching found in God's Word. Donna was definitely a Proverbs 31 wife and mother. As her children did rise up and call her blessed.

A lady that did things the old-fashioned way, Donna used nothing but cloth diapers when her children were young. Needless to say, potty training occurred quickly. Donna appreciated the simple things of life. She enjoyed raising a vegetable garden and canning. According to her daughter she was the only person that made grape jelly and over time it turned into wine. With ten children it should be assumed Donna knew her way around the kitchen. She was known for her chicken and dumplings and eggs, biscuits and gravy. When free time did present itself, Donna loved to dance and it was something she did up until she turned 62.

A lady that had a sense of humor, enjoyed life and had a contagious laugh, Donna although small in stature has left a huge footprint. She is survived by her children, Jimmy Wever and wife Tawney, Patricia Price and husband Mitch, Debbie Ball and Carla Laurenzana, 19 grandchildren, 36 great grandchildren, and three great great grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews and extended family. Donna was preceded in death by her parents, husbands, Jack Wever, James Willis and Ray Mitchell, children, Stanley Wever, Jackie Wever, Barry Willis, Gregory Willis, Rebecca "Becky" Willis and Kathy Downes and grandson, Jonathan.
