Donna Dotson Krissman, 1962-2012, CHS class of 1980





Donna had an infectious personality that drew us all to her. Full of life and laugther, Donna always loved socializing with her classmates. We remember her as an athlete and competitor, playing for the lady panther basketball team and nationally ranked Dairy King softball team.

A woman with a simple style, not much for dresses, but even in jeans and t-shirt, she was in style with hair and make up in perfect order. Donna was a life long resident of Clarksville and will be known for her many years working at South Park restaurant and daily interactions with many of us.

She loved sports and that love has been passed to her daugther. I could always count on a phone call from Donna when someone died or when the Razorbacks or Dallas Cowboys won a big game.

Nick named "Moon" or "Moon baby", although I have never received the full story behind that, she carried it from her days in school for the rest of her life.

Beautiful inside and out, we will remember her smile, her laugh, her loyal friendship and setting the trash can on fire in study hall. I will miss my conversations with her. Never, never to forget thee!
