In Loving Memory of Donna Denise Johnson
March 9, 1955 - August 25, 2023
Donna Denise Johnson, a remarkable soul with an indomitable spirit, transitioned from this world on August 25, 2023, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unapologetic authenticity. Born in Washington, DC on March 9, 1955, Donna's journey through life was a testament to her unwavering strength and zest for living life to its fullest.
Donna was a force of nature, known for her spitfire personality and her unwavering commitment to speaking the truth, even if it was uncomfortable. She had an uncanny ability to tell it like it is, a trait that both endeared her to many and inspired those around her to be more honest and authentic in their own lives.
Her magnetic presence drew people in, and once you were in Donna's orbit, you were in for a treat. Her quick wit and sharp humor could light up even the dullest of moments, turning them into unforgettable memories. She was the life of the party, injecting joy, and laughter into every gathering she attended. Her ability to find humor in the everyday and to bring a smile to the faces of those she loved was truly a gift.
Donna's heart was as big as her personality, and she cherished her family above all else. She leaves behind a legacy of love through her children, Patricia Sanyang, Janel Johnson, and Benjamin Howard as well as 2 sisters. Her presence will continue to be felt through her 11 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren, as well as nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends, all of whom were touched by her unwavering love and support.
As we bid farewell to Donna, we celebrate a life well-lived, a life filled with passion, laughter, and a determination to live on her own terms. Her memory will forever inspire us to embrace life with the same fiery spirit and unapologetic authenticity that she embodied.
