Donna Jean Sexton, 64, Goshen, passed away early in the morning on Friday, July 18, 2025 at Goshen Hospital. Donna was born on August 10, 1960 in Ripley, West Virginia to Johnny D. and Sue (Bailey) Myers. On March 17, 1984 she married Jackie Sexton in Benton. Donna is survived by her husband and five children; Susan (Robert) Mast, Goshen, Tabbitha (Chris) Sorgel, Nappanee, Shantel (TJ) Adams, Morehead, Kentucky, Jerry Michael Allen, Salyersville, Kentucky, and Jacob Lee (Michelle) Sexton, Morehead, Kentucky; 16 grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents. Donna was a hard worker; she worked as a CNA earlier in her life and most recently had worked in the RV industry. She will be remembered as someone who enjoyed gardening, singing, and playing the piano and guitar. Above all else, her family was what she cherished the most. Donna's friends and family will gather at 4 p.m. on Thursday, July 24, at Yoder-Culp Funeral Home, where an hour of visitation will take place immediately before the 5 p.m. funeral service. Mike Kelley from Word of Truth Ministries, Milford, will officiate. In memory of Donna's life, memorial contributions may be made to her family.
