December 6, 1958 ~ July 4, 2019
Donna Kay Hammond, 60, of Jefferson City passed away, Thursday, July 4, 2019, at Capital Region Medical Center, surrounded by her loving family.

Fly high Donna… I’m going to miss you thru the drive-thru at McDonalds. You always started my day with a ray of sunshine!!! Much love to your family! #thewhitehonda
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. She was my absolute favorite at McDonald’s and a very special person. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Donna was one of the nicest, friendliest people I have ever known! I first met her at McDonald’s drive-through windows and she always had a smile on her face and laughed easily! It was so nice that I worked just a few offices away from her daughter Holly and I was able to stay informed about her health during the last few months. Donna was a wonderful person and she will brighten Heaven with her presence! Steve Walker
My condolences to the family. Donna will be missed greatly. Donna always had a way to cheer up anyone she met. If you were having a bad day she would have you smiling and laughing in no time. I know she impacted many people with her infectious smile and personality. I will miss her so much!
To my beautiful sister, I will always love you and miss you. I remember when I was about 8yrs old they asked at school what we wanted for Christmas, I said I want socks and shoes for my baby sister. You hold a special place in my heart. I thank God for letting us share 60 years together. I love you, Donna Kay,
Heart in memory of Donna Kay Hammond
Donna was the reason I drove through the McDonald’s every morning for coffee. She was a wonderful person. My condolences to all.
I just can’t stop thinking about our little McDonald’s Donna. She used to be at Eastland Drive, then on Mo Blvd where I didn’t get to see her as often. Miss you so much Donna — can’t believe it. Hugs to the family..
