Donna Kay Roberts, of Columbia, Mississippi, passed from this life into God’s presence on Monday, December 5, 2022 at the age of 62. She was born in Columbia to Ralph and Hilda Greenlee and has remained a lifelong resident of Marion County. Donna owned several restaurants thru out the years, including The Western Corral that she owned and ran for 23 years. She enjoyed watching football and was a “die hard” New Orleans Saints and Georgia Bulldog fan. Donna was known for always being late; but, when she arrived was the life of the party. She loved music, dancing, riding her Harley with friends, and being with family. She was a member of Morgantown Church of God.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by three brothers, Kevin Greenlee, Mike Fish, and Buck Fish; a grandson, Tyler Smith; and a niece Brittany Fish. Donna is survived by her husband, Paul Roberts; her children, Cindy Bryant, Derick (Sharon) Ginn, Eric (Samantha) Ginn, Kim (Evan) English, Jennifer (Bob) Tyler, and Bobby (Lori) McDuffie; eight sisters, Debra (Robbie) Piner-Collins, Sandra (Herbert) Turnage, Claudia Gaubert, Theresa Albarado, Sally Piske, Cynthia Pierce, Donna Eckenstaller, and Melanie Johnson; two brothers, Dale (Kathy) Greenlee and Shannon (Ruby) Fish; twelve grandchildren, Cody (Meg) Nelson, Carrie (Colby) Nelson, Cami (Brandon) Ginn, Kris (Haley) Ginn, Jonathan Newman, Breanna Ginn, Owen English, Annelise English, Gatlyn Crabtree, Emily McDuffie, Raven Tyler, and J. Paul Tyler; one great-grandchild, Autumn Tynes; and numerous nieces and nephews.

The funeral service officiated by Reverend Evan English, is scheduled for 1:30pm in the funeral home chapel. Note that it will probably be closer to 2:00pm before the service begins because, Donna was late for everything.

Ryan Greenlee and Chance Greenlee will serve as honorary pallbearers.
