Donna Rae Shumate

Donna Rae Shumate, 81, passed away on Monday, July 2, 2018 surrounded by her family. She was born in Springfield, Missouri on January 20, 1937 to Henry and Georgia Harris (Reed). She was a loving mom, grandma, great-grandma, sister, and aunt. Donna retired as a Retail Manager. She was an amazing woman with many talents—ranging from mechanic to seamstress. Her hand-made Raggedy Anne and Andy sets are cherished by many, and she was well-known for her homemade desserts.
