She deeply loved the Savannah area and was a true "island girl", spending her life on Wilmington and Tybee Islands. Donna was a graduate of Savannah High School and Armstrong State College. She spent over 30 years working at the Georgia Ports Authority, retiring as the Executive Secretary to the President & CEO. She had a servant's heart and enjoyed volunteering, always using her time, talents, and skills willingly to benefit others. Donna was active with the Savannah Garden Club and chaired many committees and tours, including the annual NOGS tour of historic, residential Savannah. She also devoted time to The One Hundred Children's Foundation, where she organized and co-chaired several of their annual Bear Galas. Outside of volunteering, Donna also loved fishing and boating in the creeks around the islands, going to the beach, gardening and feeding birds (especially cardinals), sunsets, the Savannah St. Patrick's Day parade, Georgia football, and more than anything, spoiling her grandchildren.Donna was preceded in death by her parents, Wilbur and Nira Cubbedge, and her sister, Linda Langston.
