She graduated from Ruskin High School in 1967 and was a hard worker in her various job roles over the years, with her most notable employment being at Red Lobster for over 20 years, where she was a worker of all trades doing everything from making salads to washing dishes to rolling silverware as well as table setting quality control. 

Donna was known as a quiet and gentle soul, often described as “sweet” and “an angel,” yet she had a witty sense of humor. She was an avid collector Elvis memorabilia and had a huge heart for all animals, especially dogs and cats. She was a master at several crafts in her earlier years, was a frequent Bingo prize winner and loved Christmas. Above all, she adored her sons, Warren and Brad, who cherished her just as much.

She is survived by her sister, Billie Reaves; son, Warren Qualls; grandchildren Elizabeth, Austin, Nicolette, Landon and Emerie; great grandchild Raelynne, as well as many nieces, nephews and extended family. Donna was preceded in death by her parents, H. Virginia and William E. Goforth; her sister, Ginnie Lee Albright; and her son, Bradley J. Qualls.
