Obituary of Donna Lynn Buffington
Donna Lynn Buffington was born on September 9, 1970 in Monroe, Michigan to the union of George and Wilma (McLain) Buffington. She attended Dundee High School and later obtained her GED. Donna was employed for a time at Ford Motor Co. and also worked at various restaurants. She was a trusted caretaker, babysitting for many families. The children absolutely adored her.
Donna had a lighthearted nature and loved to laugh. She was a social butterfly and had lots of friends. Donna attended both Lower Light Ministries and Oaks of Righteousness Churches and she often volunteered her time sorting donations. Donna spent many hours playing the online game “Candy Crush” and watching endless reruns of her favorite television program, Law & Order SVU. Most of all, she enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. Having cookouts and camping at the campground they affectionately called “the mudhole” were some of their favorite activities.
