Donna Farmer Traylor

Donna Farmer Traylor, age 60, of Demorest, Georgia won her battle and gained her heavenly wings on Tuesday, June 10, 2025.

Mrs. Traylor was born on April 14, 1965 in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Donna was preceded in death by her father and step-mother, Harris and Carol Farmer; step-father, Coy Cornett; and sister, Janet Leigh Smith. Donna was a proud and loving mother to her daughters, whom she raised with strength, warmth, and unwavering support. She found immense joy in watching them grow and was endlessly proud of the women they became. Her role as "Meme" to her treasured grandson brought her deep happiness; the bond they shared was filled with laughter, learning, and love. Together, they explored one of Donna’s great passions, bird watching and she took time to teach him about the different kinds of birds. Donna had a talent for growing vegetables in her garden and took pride in preserving the fruits of her labor through canning. Alongside her husband Brad, Donna was also an avid bowler. Their shared love of the sport brought them to Clarkesville Lanes, where Donna built lasting friendships that meant so much to her.

Survivors include her loving husband, Brad Traylor, of Demorest; daughter and son-in-law, Katie and Joey Watkins, of Cleveland; Heather and Josh Hunter, of Cleveland; grandson, Memphis Hunter; mother, Janet Cornett, of Kentucky; brothers, Harris E. "Gene" Farmer, of Cleveland; Coy Cornett, Jr., of Jefferson; sisters and brothers-in-law, Carolyn and Mitchell Coleman, of Alabama; Tina and Ricky Waycaster, of Clarkesville; June and Dale Allen, of Clarkesville; best friend of 30 years, Carmen Best, of Loganville; father of her children, Harold Hook, Jr., of Mt. Airy; and numerous nieces and nephews as well.
