Donna Frances Barker, 65, of Fairmont, passed from this life Monday (Nov. 19, 2012) at the Pierpont Center, after a long illness.
She was born in Fairmont on Sept. 16, 1947, a daughter of the late Melvin Lee and Martha Lorraine Victor Barker.

She enjoyed working in the store at the Pierpont Center, arts and crafts, playing bingo, jig-saw puzzles, watching television, taking field trips and especially visiting with her many friends.

Donna’s family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff of Pierpont Center for their kind and caring support. A special thank you to Kerrie, who went above and beyond in her efforts to care for Donna, and also to Hospice Care for their efforts in Donna’s final days.
