On February 21, 2024, Donna Goodling passed away surrounded by her family after a long and hard battle with pancreatic cancer.  Donna leaves behind two biological children, however many people considered Donna to be their surrogate mother.  She cared deeply for others and was always there to lend an ear or motherly advice.  Donna acted as homemaker and dedicated her life to caring for her family and home.

Donna is survived by her soul mate and husband of 36 years, John Goodling, whom she loved more than there are stars in the sky.  She is also survived by her beloved children: her daughter Krystal Bramlett (husband Daniel Bramlett), and her son Brian Goodling.  Among them is also a multitude of grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, grand nieces, grand nephews, and cousins.

Donna is preceded in death by her father, James Claude Hastings, mother, Doris Inez Browning White, and two brothers, James Aaron Canady, Sr., and Terry Lynn Canady.
