Donna Lee Gaines, 70, of Henderson, KY, passed away peacefully on August 27, 2024, at the Lucy Smith King Care Center. Born on November 11, 1953, in Henderson, Donna was a beloved daughter to the late Bailey and Christine Vaughn.
Donna lived a life full of passion and dedication. Her love for line dancing was matched only by her commitment to her work as the first female orderly at Henderson Methodist Hospital, a pioneering role that she carried out with great pride and compassion.
Donna is preceded in death by her brother, Gary Vaughn, and her sister, Sherry Dewigg. She is survived by her two sons, John Gaines and Cody Gaines; her brother, Randy Vaughn; and her cherished grandchildren, Lindsay Gaines and Kelsie Yates. She was also a proud great-grandmother to Kaiden Johns, Kali Dennis, Kashton Dennis, Kyson Dennis, and Reed Yates. Her loyal fur baby and best friend, Jazzy, was a constant source of comfort and joy.
Graveside services will be 11:00 AM, Friday, August 30, 2024, at Fairmont Cemetery.
