Donna Marie (Cobb) Leith

Donna Marie Cobb-Leith was born on June 25th, 1956 in Tahlequah, OK, the daughter of Leonard and Emma (Towie) Cobb. She was called home on October 11th, 2023 in Tulsa, OK, at the age of 67 years. The oldest of three, she took her role as big sister very seriously, and could be counted on to help with the housework so Deborah could have the preferred outside chores and was the one who inspired in Leslie his lifelong passion for music. Her belief in fairness started early and she elected herself to draw imaginary lines in the car seat to keep everyone on “their side.”

On August 18th, 1995, Donna married her soulmate and the love of her life, Raymond Leith in Clearwater, FL. Donna began working at Cherokee Nation Hastings Hospital in 2005and joined the team on OB as Unit Clerk in 2006. It was here she remained until her retirement on September 29th, 2023. On OB, Donna developed some of her closest and most cherished friendships. She loved her OB and Hospital team.

Donna loved the OU Sooners and kept up with every game. She loved her family fiercely and made them a priority. Cards, calls, coffee, front porch talks, dinners at Chili’s or sleepovers. Aunt Donna was full of love generosity and a genuine care for the wellbeing of other people. Donna was a forgiving person and Ray was an expert on that!

A faithful member of Generations Church, Donna gave her heart and soul to Jesus and became a soul winner for Him. She could be counted on to pray with you and for you. You could always count on her.

Donna is preceded in death by her parents, Leonard and Emma Cobb, and her great niece, Mackenzie Dallis.

She is survived by her husband Raymond Leith of the home in Tahlequah, and her beloved weenie dog Jackson also of the home. She leaves her sister, Deborah Skaggs of Tahlequah and brother Leslie Cobb of Tahlequah. There are two nieces, Leslie Dallis and husband Jessie of Tahlequah and Lindsey Dillard and husband Neal of Tahlequah, and one nephew, Josh Martin of Tahlequah. She leaves great nieces and nephews, Emma Grace Dillard, Raelynn Martin, Rosslynn Martin, McKinleigh Dallis and Maebry Dallis, Gavin Dillard, and Alden Jones. There is her father-in-law, Frank Leith, Mother-in-law, Katie Leith, and sister-in-law, Dona A. Leith, as well as many cousins, friends, loved ones, church family and co-workers, and friends too numerous to mention.
