LaDonna Brenda Hawkins 68, departed this life on, January 8, 2021, at 11:26 am at St. V's Medical Center. She was born on, September 23, 1952, in New York City, to Donald Hawkins and Anna Gardner (Cooper).

She moved to Toledo as a child. LaDonna was a mother and sister to many individuals, from all walks of life.

LaDonna was married to Jetton Woods also known as "Butch", they were gifted with four amazing sons, Jaeson, Jetton, Justyn, and Jorean.

In life, LaDonna was a God fearing woman. a devout Christian. She rededicated her life to Christ, August of 2020. She was a devoted member of Lion of Judah World Outreach Center.

LaDonna's love shone and spread throughout the many things she committed herself to; family, work and her continued education, a woman of faith, as well a her works as an author of 3 powerful books: Empty Manger & other Stories, Court of 2 Sisters, and Stories from a box in the closet.

She worked in the medical field because she cared about people, and wanted to be of help

LaDonna has been a symbol of love and faith if not remembered for anything else. She kept her mind strong and her beliefs in the word of God.

She loved her grandkids, she enjoyed them, she talked to them she'd tell the boys smile b good and the girls to be respectful and demand respect for themselves. She told them about God and jesus, and wat he has done for her. She prayed for them.

Her devotion to Jesus has to be one of the things that separate her from a church person to a true Walker of the faith. She prayed for the love of jesus to help and protect people that did not believe in anything. She loved her family no matter the situation, she would say I dnt care that's family. We gotta work it out ..

From loving work, to planting flowers, and veggies , being a dog lover, a Christian ,she loved owls and occasional trips to the gun range to sharpen her aim.
