Donna Powell

Tribute Donna Seay Powell, age 58, of Mount Vernon, passed away in the early evening hours Tuesday, August 13, 2019, at Christus Mother Frances Hospital in Tyler. Donna was born on March 29, 1961, in Mount Vernon to Donald and Sue Cates Seay; she survives. Donna married the love of her life and best friend, Robert Wade Powell, on September 6, 1980. Together they have spent the last 39 years raising a family and living a lifetime of memories that will never be forgotten. Donna attended the Mount Vernon Church of Christ. She worked for Jordan's Home Health Services for nearly 10 years before her health limited her abilities. Donna was an avid reader who could easily find herself lost in a book, especially at the Franklin County Library. She also enjoyed crafting, especially knitting, but those who knew her best will always remember the love she had for her family and the time she was able to spend with them, especially her grandchildren who affectionately called her "Nonna". Donna is survived by her husband, Wade; two sons, Ryan Powell, and wife Tiffani, of Mount Vernon, and Blake Powell of Brownsboro; grandchildren, Jaxson and Brynli Powell; mother, Sue Seay of Mount Vernon; brother, John Seay, and wife Carmen, of Texarkana; sister, Amy Murphy, and husband Ken, of Artesia, New Mexico, and by a host of other relatives and very special friends. Memorials in Donna's name can be made to the Franklin County Library or the Arthritis Foundation. . Service Details.
