Marvel Bruce Harvey Donnell

In Loving Memory

Marvel Bruce Donnell, age 94, passed away peacefully on January 29, 2024. Born into a loving family of 13, Bruce devoted her life to creating a warm and nurturing home for her own family. She peacefully left this world, surrounded by the love she so freely gave during her remarkable journey. Bruce was the heartbeat of our family, embodying the importance of close-knit bonds. Her legacy lives on through the lessons of love, determination, and family unity she instilled in others.

Marvel was a loving wife of Ernest Clifton Donnell, Jr., and a wonderful mother of four children, five grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. She was a joy and inspiration, a bright light and beautiful spirit to all her family and friends. She was loved and cherished and will be greatly missed. Marvel raised her family in Baton Rouge and Denham Springs, Louisiana. When she wasn’t caring for her family, she held positions at retail businesses and real estate development companies.

Marvel is survived by her son Jefferey and wife Kathleen, daughter Pamela, son Gary and wife Mary, grandchildren Amanda and husband Ian, Sarah and husband John, Paul, Jacob and wife Ashley, great grandchildren Brinley, Rylen, and Emery.
