Donna Jean Clark Wilburn went to the happy hunting ground from NMMC in Tupelo at 2:39 AM on Sunday, Dec. 10, 2023. She was 65 years old. Born in Anderson, Indiana on August 8, 1958 to the late Donald Gene Clark and Barbara Kay Parker Clark, Donna grew up there and attended the public schools. She and her family relocated to Northeast Miss. in 1977. A lady who loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, camping and enjoying God’s creation, Donna was not afraid of work. Early in life, she was a professional women’s wrestler, known as the Golden Girls. She worked several industrial jobs along the way and retired from MTD/Air Cap where she was a welder. A free spirit with a zeal and zest for life and living, Donna was particularly fond of her boys and their families, especially the grandchildren who equally loved Nanny.
