Donna Marie (Riggs) Davis

It is with heavy hearts and a deep sense of loss that we announce the passing of Donna Marie Riggs Davis. She departed peacefully at home on December 12, surrounded by her closest family, with no pain or suffering. Donna, born and raised in Miami, Florida, leaves behind a legacy of love, service, and laughter that will forever be cherished.

Donna began her professional journey at Bell South, where she contributed her skills and dedication. Later, she worked alongside Dr. Thomas Bantly, making a difference in the lives of those she served. In her most recent employment, Donna chose to dedicate herself to her community, first at a charitable bakery and later as a secretary at Crosspoint Church. Her commitment to service was evident even in her final weeks, as she retired only four weeks before her passing, insisting on continuing to serve until the very end.

A devout Christian, Donna’s faith was the cornerstone of her life. She is now home with the Lord, her spirit at peace. Donna found joy in the simple pleasures of life, being an avid reader and relishing moments at the beach and boating on Georgia’s many beautiful lakes. Her infectious laughter and the warmth she exuded made every person she knew feel good about themselves.

Donna was known for her unwavering loyalty, kindness, generosity, and empathy. As a mother, she was unparalleled, and her two sons, Evan and Clint Davis, were blessed to have her as their guiding light. Donna’s love and spirit will live on in the hearts and smiles of those who were fortunate enough to know her.

She is survived by her two sons, Evan and Clint Davis, and her niece, Beverly Guidry. She was preceded in death by her father, Authur Riggs, her mother, June Riggs, her sister, Debbie Bone, and her brother Arthur Richard Riggs Jr. Donna’s memory will be celebrated at a memorial service at Crosspoint Church, 1800 Satellite Blvd NW, Duluth, GA 30097, on Saturday, January 27th, at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to the Special Kneads and Treats Bakery, reflecting Donna’s commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of others and to charity.

As we say our goodbyes, let us remember Donna with love and gratitude for the joy and inspiration she brought into our lives. May she rest in eternal peace. She was legendary.
