Donna was a licensed cosmetologist, practicing for many years in Franklin. She had a loving and captivating smile that would light up the room and was the kind of friend that you could call on at any time and was always there for you. Anyone who knew Donna knew that children were her passion. She was affectionately called “Nanny Donna” by the many children in her life that she so deeply loved. She enjoyed cooking and baking, was an avid LSU fan, and was the unofficial mom to all the dancers at the Dance Factory. She will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by all who knew her.
Survivors include three brothers, Brian Bolner and his wife, Martha “Marttie,” of Lafayette, Lynn “Duke” Bolner and his wife, Donna, of Centerville, and Barry Bolner and his wife, Dr. Natalie Dishman, of Morgan City; four nephews, Nicklaus Bolner, Joshua Bolner, James “JR” Bolner and Blake Bolner; two nieces, Angela Lala and Brooke Bolner; her godparents, Oray and Louise Rogers; as well as numerous other family members and countless friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Dale Robert Bolner and Marguerite Becnel Bolner; her maternal grandparents, John and Ruby Cissna; her paternal grandparents, Albert and Almeda Bolner; one niece, Maggie Comeaux Hebert; and a special family friend, John Gunner Jr.
