Donna Lynne Ratcliff Cupit

Services for Mrs. Donna Lynne Ratcliff Cupit is 11:00 am, Saturday, February 4, 2023, at Riverwood Family with visitation from 9:00 until the time of the service.

Interment to take place at 1:00 pm at Adams Methodist Church Cemetery.

Donna Lynne Ratcliff Cupit, 62, went to be with her Lord on February 1, 2023.

She was born on October 30, 1960, to the late Melvin Hewitt Ratcliff and Doloris Marlene Temple Ratcliff.

Donna loved playing softball in her youth. As a member of Barnes Furniture team, she made many close friends and traveled to tournaments across the South.

She enjoyed gardening and was a green thumb, like her mother. She considered herself a country girl and felt that turning the soil was therapeutic.

She was dedicated to her careers in healthcare both as a pharmacy technician and then as an LPN. She enjoyed spending time with her family as well as serving her McCall Creek community and attending New Salem Baptist Church.

Preceding her in death were her parents; and infant twin daughters, Jane Ellen Wilson and Jessica Hope Wilson.

Those left to cherish her memory are her husband of nine years, W.L. Cupit; daughters, Michelle Wilson and stepdaughter, Cydnee Russell Merritt and husband, Victor; brother, Mark Ratcliff and wife, Casey and sisters, Lisa Goforth and husband, Ray and Karen McPherson and husband, Ron. She is also survived by three grandchildren, Marley Grace Barfoot, Samuel Thomas Barfoot and Annalise Olivia Merritt; and close friend since high school, Eileen Wells, and many cousins and extended family nieces and nephews.

Memorials can be made to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (Memphis TN) or Blair Batson Children’s Hospital (Jackson, MS)

    To the family of Donna Cupit. You have my heart felt condolences. Although I did not know Donna personally I feel that I knew her through her sister, Lisa. Lisa and I worked together at Heart Hospital of Lafayette and I consider her a dear friend.
