Donna Brothers
March 1, 1959 — November 1, 2020
Donna Brothers, 61, of Owensboro, recently residing in Florida, passed away Sunday, November 1, 2020 at her daughter's home. She was born in Detroit, Michigan to the late Floyd W. Raymond and Helen V. Bailey.
Mrs. Brothers faithfully ministered for many years. Her heart was primarily focused on being a dedicated pastor's wife, but she was also a Christian schoolteacher. As a couple, they also served as missionaries to Canada and India. She was a gifted baker, a skilled artist and an animal lover. Donna had a big heart. She enjoyed bringing many children with a variety of needs into her home and was like a mother to many. She was good at making people laugh and radiated joy. Above all, Donna loved her family and serving the Lord.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of thirty-nine years, Missionary Carl Brothers in 2016; siblings, Sherry Ecker and Lucinda Allen; and step siblings, Darlene Haueter and Dwayne Hildebrandt.
She is survived by four children, Rebecca Lynn Hopkins, Jonathan Danial Brothers (Leah), Amanda Dawn Brothers (Adam Hamlet) and Bethany Vee Hall (Caleb); grandchildren, (who knew her as "Baba"), Violet, Lilianna, Carli, Abigail, Andrew, River, Matthew, Moriah, Katelynn, AvaLynn, Morgan and Aubriella; sisters, Carrie Freeman, Helen Milum, Sarah Spencer, Floydean Smith and Katie Newton; and many nieces and nephews.
The funeral service will be at 11:00 AM, Saturday, November 7 at Harvest Baptist Temple. Pastors Jonathan Brothers, Thomas Freeman and Greg Dowdy will officiate. Burial will be at Owensboro Memorial Gardens. Visitation will be Friday from 4:00 until 7:00 PM at Glenn Funeral Home and Crematory and Saturday from 10:00 until 11:00 at the church.
The number of those attending the visitation or funeral service for Mrs. Brothers shall be within current health and safety directives.
