The world lost a beloved woman, Donna Jean Furry, 73, of Parma Heights, Ohio passed away on April 26, 2021. Donna was born on September 30, 1947 in Parkersburg, West Virginia to the late George F.

In addition to being a full time stay at home mother Donna also worked as a foster parent through Cuyahoga County Children and Family Services caring for many children throughout the years. This was something special to her heart because she was also in foster care as a child. Donna loved children so much that she would even volunteer her time to local daycares and help where needed. Everyone close to Donna from family and friends including her colleagues knew she had a kind soul, and she was always willing to cheer someone up with her hugs and sugars (kisses). Donna, loved cooking, crocheting, arts & crafts, taking care of her family and sharing many laughs over some freshly baked goods. She always sacrificed her needs for the good of her family. She will always be remembered as a selfless, generous, giving, kindhearted wife and mother who always had a smile on her face. And even when times were tough, she always looked to a better future. She had a quiet strength. Always supportive and encouraging, and her children can attest to the fact that she had the patience of a saint, and that she was proud of all of them. Dearest Donna: Your Hug Meant the World Nobody else held me so tight Or made me feel so right No one's eyes shined so bright with lots of love As my mom, who is now in heaven high up above. “Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.” - Proverbs 31:28-31 Memorial service will take place on Sunday, May 16, 2021 at 4:00PM at Unity Free Will Baptist Church, 6658 Fry Rd, Cleveland, OH 44130.
