Donna Ralston Obituary

Corsicana - Donna Williams Ralston, 77, a loving, caring, and funny wife, mother, and grandmother went to be with the Lord on Friday, November 17, 2023.

Donna was born on January 11, 1946, in Shreveport, Louisiana to Charles Dana and Lou Mangham Williams.

Donna graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a bachelor's degree in education. She taught History and Special Education in Richardson, Corpus Christi, Austin, Lubbock, and Corsicana. Always dedicated to education, she served on the Corsicana ISD Board of Trustees for 15 years.

She was a member of Westminster Presbyterian Church. As a Ruling Elder, she served many roles in the church and for the WPC Child Enrichment Program.

Donna loved spending time with family. She was very active with her children throughout their childhoods such as being involved as a room mother, in booster clubs, as a den and troop mother. This interest continued on into the lives of her grandchildren. She loved them to a fault as they were the apple of her eye.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her sisters, Mary Ann Baker-Holmes and Bettye Williams.

Donna is survived by her loving husband of 54 years, Dave Ralston; son, Tracy Ralston of Houston, Texas; and daughter, Rebecca Kinkade and husband, Jason of Corsicana, Texas; grandchildren, Daniel Davis, Bryce Davis, Kolby Kinkade, Ralston Cain, Will Ralston, and Keller Kinkade; other relatives and a host of friends.
