Donna Lee Nall

DONNA LEE NALL (neé NUTTALL) passed away on February 21, 2021 in Los Angeles at the age of 87. Born in Cordova, Alabama on May 5, 1933 and raised in Montgomery, Donna and her beloved husband HILARY HERBERT NALL, raised their two children in Dallas, and retired to Fairhope, Ala., where Donna was active in the Eastern Shore Arts Center and the Fairhope Library. After her husband's death in 2000, Donna moved to Decatur, Ala. for a time and finally to Los Angeles to be near her children, ROGER NALL and GRACE ANNE SOPHIA, daughter-in-law FRANCIE, and grandchildren ROBERT and NICHOLAS NALL. She is also survived by her adored sister BARBARA JOAN NUTTALL HEALEY. Donna was a person who got things done -- properly, cheerfully and with a will. She loved her family, her work at Joske's and JC Penney in Dallas, her dogs and cats, her many good friends, and the Crimson Tide (not necessarily in that order). She patronized local arts and theatre wherever she was living, traveled the world in a busy and well-spent retirement, liked her coffee in the morning, a snack and glass of Chardonnay at 5, and, in between, she made an awful lot of good food for an awful lot of lucky people. Donna had that knack for enjoying life and making it nicer for those around her, and her family mourns and misses her for all of that, but mostly for her kind heart and her always attentive, loving good care of us all. God speed, Mom. We know Dad's been waiting with a hug. And probably an empty yet hopeful plate . . . Interment will be at Memory Gardens of Fairhope in Fairhope on March 12, 2021. Donations in Donna's memory may be made to the Eastern Shore Arts Center in Fairhope, Ala. or the Fairhope Public Library.
