Obituary for Donna S. Williamson
Donna Williamson of Winter Springs, FL passed away on December 11, 2021 at the age of 79. She was born and raised in Pikeville, Kentucky, the fourth child of Kenny Harrison Skeens and Clara Elizabeth Adkins.
She graduated from Mullins High School, Pike County, KY, in 1960, where she was class president, school newspaper editor, and debate team member. She then studied Business Administration at the University of Pikeville.
Shortly after relocating to Orlando, Florida, in 1980, she began a highly successful career as an administrator and coordinator at Martin Marietta, which later merged into Lockheed Martin. While at Lockheed, she received multiple awards for her outstanding work and dedication to excellence, and was highly respected by her colleagues.
As diligent and focused in her personal life as she was at work, Donna was ever the person her friends and family turned to when they needed advice or assistance, because they knew they could rely on her honesty, persistence, and willingness to help others.
Always curious about people and the world around her, she had a number of interests, including song writing, genealogy, and historic preservation. She worked hard to help create digital access to neglected photos and records related to Mullins High School.
Generosity, a sharp wit, keen sense of right and wrong, and high standards were her hallmarks. She was much loved and will be greatly missed by those who had the privilege of knowing her.
Donna is survived by her beloved son, Steven Williamson and wife Laura, brothers, Ken Skeens and wife Leigh, and Homer Skeens; plus several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, siblings Bobby Skeens and Joann Buckley, and ex-husband Everett Williamson.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that those wishing to make a tribute donate to Donna’s favorite charity, St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, or to another charitable organization of their choice.
