ROCKY MOUNT - Donna Bramel Batchelor, age 71, was greeted by her Holy Father on Wednesday, June 16, 2021.

Wayne, and Family. I was so shocked, and sorry to get word of Donna’s passing. She was a special niece by marriage. I met you at Gene’s funeral in Maysville, Ky., a few years ago. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for you with adjustment and acceptance. Janet Bramel

For some 20 plus years I worked with Donna as part of the Universal Leaf family. It was an honor and pleasure to have worked with her. I will always remember how pleasant and cooperative her attitude was. Thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time.
Donna was such a beautiful person it was a joy to be in her presence. I met Donna & Wayne through a professional relationship, but they soon both became a special couple to me. Their love & respect for each other was evident.
