Donna was born November 18,1937, in Monticello, AR, to the late Lyman and Ludie Griffin Cox. She grew up and resided in the Enon community for many years. She loved to dance, work in her yard and to stay on the go. She was always up for an adventure and the life of the party around anyone she met.
Donna was a member of the Enon Baptist Church in Monticello, AR. She worked for Burlington Industries until she retired. Donna loved to travel, spend time with family, and spend time outdoors. Her grandchildren, nieces and nephews always loved Christmas with her and her goody sacks as she called them.
Donna lived with her daughter, Stacy in Sherwood and Bauxite, Arkansas, helping to care for her granddaughter, Maddison during Maddison's illness. She lived there until her health declined in 2020. She then moved to Rowlett, Texas, with her daughter Trudy for the remainder of her life. For those of you who knew her she was always outgoing and happy. She loved being with friends and never missed a class reunion with her Class of 1955, Drew Central High School.
In addition to her parents, Donna was preceded in death by her husband, John Calvin Rezab (Jack); a niece, Deena Rezab; and a great nephew, Chad Harrison.
Survivors include a sister, Bonnie McCabe; two daughters, Stacy (Jeff) Smith of Bauxite, AR and Trudy (Alan) Carrington of Rowlett, TX; and a son, Jeff Tucker of Monticello, AR.
