Donna Ann Johnson

Donna was born on July 5, 1944, in New Hampshire to the late William and Hazel Robbins. Following graduation from Concord High School, class of 1962, Donna began working for C&P Telephone Co. She transferred with the telephone company to Virginia in 1967 and worked there until 1985, when she chose to stay home with her children. She returned to the workforce years later and retired as the town clerk for the town of Dumfries in 2010. Following her retirement, Donna turned a hobby into a business and began selling country and primitive furniture and décor at Caroline Square and the House of Milk and Honey in downtown Fredericksburg.

Donna had a zest for life, a kind heart and an infectious smile, and she made friends wherever she went. She cherished her many friendships, new and old, but her greatest love was for her family, especially her grandsons.

Donna is survived by her husband of 46 years, Earl Johnson; her two children, Corey Johnson and his wife, Deena, of Falmouth and daughter Kelley Brown and her husband, Bobby, of Spotsylvania County; and three grandchildren, J.D. Roberts, Coby Johnson and Colton Brown. She is also survived by her brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews, many friends that she considered family and her beloved dogs.

The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 28, at Mullins and Thompson Funeral Service, Stafford Chapel. A funeral will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, April 29, at the funeral home, with burial to follow at Stafford Memorial Cemetery.
