It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Donna Rae Dunbrack Middleton, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, daughter, sister, a forever friend to many, and devoted Nashville Predators fan, who passed away on December 6, 2024, at the age of 70. Donna was born on February 20, 1954, in Marlinton, West Virginia to Eugene and Oleta Dunbrack.
Donna moved to Clarksville in the early 1970’s, and while she would go on to travel the world, she would always tell people that she was born in West Virginia, but grew up in Clarksville and considered herself a native of Tennessee. She got her cosmetologist license in 1989, and had a very successful career that brought her a lot of joy. While Donna was many things to many people, her greatest joy of all was being a Momma to her children.
Donna is survived by her loving husband, Bradley Middleton, with whom she shared 29 years of marriage. She is also survived by daughter, Catressa Raynett Villanueva, son-in-law, Javier Villanueva; son, Ray Thomas Northcutt III; son, Edward Eugene Northcutt II, daughter-in-law, Jeniffer Northcutt; daughter, Xara Ylana Zimmerman; stepdaughters Jessica Putman and Heather Middleton; grandchildren Tristen Thomas Nail, Victoria Aidan Williams, Morgan Adira Wangsness, Nevaeh Adriana Villanueva, Ray Thomas Northcutt IV, Joseph Alexander Northcutt; and great grandson, Colton River Wangsness. She is preceded in death by her son, Richard Thomas Northcutt.
In Donna’s own words “I have lived!! I have seen so many beautiful places and things all over the world!! I have been loved and I have loved!!”
Arrangements are in the care of Neal Tarpley Parchman Funeral Home.
