Seminole resident Donna Fay Wallace, 84, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 4, 2026, in Seminole.

Donna was born July 12, 1942, in Seminole to King and Edna (Hodges) Presley. A lifelong resident of the community she loved, Donna graduated from Seminole High School with the Class of 1959. On June 12, 1959, she married the love of her life, Dale Wallace, at Seminole First Baptist Church. Together, Donna and Dale shared 67 years of marriage, building a life filled with love, family, faith, and countless cherished memories.

Donna and Dale operated the Seminole Regional Airport for many years, where they became familiar and welcoming faces to many in the community. Donna was also a longtime and faithful member of Seminole First Baptist Church. Her faith was an important part of her life, and she loved giving her time and serving others in any way she could. She was especially devoted to the church’s food pantry, where her caring heart and willingness to help others touched many lives.

In her quieter moments, Donna enjoyed working on crafts and spending time in her yard. She found joy in simple things and took pride in caring for her home and surroundings. Above all, Donna treasured her family and the time she shared with those she loved.

Donna was preceded in death by her parents, King and Edna Presley; and her siblings, Dorothy Young, Delbert Presley, Darlene Mendenhall, Doris Sanders, and Doyle Presley.

She leaves behind a loving family to cherish her memory, including her husband, Dale Wallace, of the home; her sons and daughters-in-law, Anthony and Sharon Wallace and Danny and Susan Wallace; granddaughter Daniela Yott and her husband, Russell; and two great-grandchildren, Autumn Yott and Remington Yott. She is also survived by many other family members and dear friends whose lives were blessed by knowing her.

Donna will be remembered for her devotion to her family, her steadfast faith, her willingness to serve others, and the kindness she shared throughout her life. Her loving presence will be deeply missed, but the memories she created with those she loved will remain in their hearts.
