Donna Jacobs Dover's Obituary
Donna was born in Atlanta, Georgia to Rosa and John Jacobs who passed away when she was only 4 years old. She was the youngest of 7, all predeceased. She was raised by her loving, older sister Gladys Siskey and shared a special lifelong bond with her sister, Jessie Gibson.
She is survived by her children, daughter Lynn and (Randy) Sandlin, son Bo and (Sherry) Dover. Four Grandchildren, Sheree Dover, Chad Dover, Kaleigh Straughan and Lauren Wilkins. Six great-grandchildren, Tess Dover, Ava Jenkins, Jace Dover, Logan Dover and Liliana Davidson. But truthfully, she mothered any and all children lucky enough to come into her life. Her heart was taking care of children, even referring to other residents in the nursing home as her kids. She is also survived by her sisters in love, Pat Abernathy and Violet Smith.
A Celebration of Life Ceremony will be held on Saturday, January 14, 2023, in the chapel of Davis-Struempf Funeral Home, Chip Abernathy officiating. The family will receive friends from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, with service beginning at 1:00 PM. Interment will follow the service at Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church, Austell, Ga.
