Donna Gay Arms

Donna Gay Arms, 62, of Spring Grove, VA, passed away on Sunday, November 9, 2025. Donna was born in Hinton, WV, in 1963 to James Rowe and the late Nancy Carolyn Basham. She was also preceded in death by her brothers, James Rowe and Allen Basham.

When she was still a child, Donna's family moved to Virginia, where she grew up in the Hopewell and Prince George areas. She thoroughly enjoyed living out in the country, where she enjoyed tending to her rose bushes. Most of all Donna loved dogs, sometimes more than she liked people!

Donna is survived by her husband of 40 years, Timothy W. Arms; daughter, Tabatha Ann Barr (Mike); son, Anthony Wayne Arms (Stephanie); stepsons, Timothy Arms II, and Joey Arms (Tammie); grandchildren, Julian DelaCruz, Jordan Skylar Heckensmith (Tim), Evangiline Barr, Ashlynn Barr, Violet Arms, Autumn Arms, Tyler D. Arms, Maddox Arms, Hayley Arms, and Tyler Arms; sister, Lydia Mason (Lloyd); nieces, Daylin Tolley, Kirsten, and Brittney; nephews, Owen Mason, Dean Mason, and Dillon; and great-niece, Hayden.

A memorial service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, November 21, 2025, at the Hopewell Chapel of J.T. Morriss & Son Funeral Home.
