Donna Caldwell

January 15, 1946 – July 21, 2025
Donna Gene Caldwell, 79, of Adel, Georgia, passed away peacefully on July 21, 2025. A vibrant spirit with a gentle heart, Donna will be remembered for her quick wit, deep love for her family, and her joy in life’s simple pleasures—especially beach days with Elvis crooning in the background.

Donna was preceded in death by her beloved partner, Rosie Baird; her devoted mother, Jane Gandy; and her cherished brothers, James D. Cool, Willie Marvin Caldwell Jr., and Samuel Lewis Caldwell.

She is survived by her nephews, Buddy (Amanda) Caldwell of St. Augustine, Florida, and Daniel (Cristy) Caldwell of Lilburn, Georgia; her nieces, Robin (Anthony) Whitaker of Jacksonville, Florida, and Rebecca Ethridge of Leesburg, Georgia; and her sisters-in-law, Brenda Kaye Caldwell of Pavo, Georgia, Betty Caldwell of Sparks, Georgia, and Sue Miller of Poulan, Georgia. Donna also leaves behind extended family and friends who will miss her generous soul and easy laughter.

A private graveside service will be held at a later date in Lenox, Georgia, for family and friends.
