Donna Juniet

Donna Tyrrell Juniet, 84, of Quitman, died on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at the Presbyterian Home in Quitman following a period of declining health. She was born on September 8, 1941, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to the late Charles Richard and Margaret Brown Tyrrell. Mrs. Juniet was a homemaker and a member of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church.

She is survived by her husband, Robert Juniet of Quitman; sons and daughters-in-law, Jeff and Becky Juniet of Orlando, Florida, John and Betty Juniet of Meriden, Connecticut, and Jerry Juniet of Tifton, Georgia; a granddaughter and her husband, Victoria and Sam Merchant; one brother, Richard Tyrrell. She was predeceased by a brother, James Tyrrell.

Donna had a lifelong passion and talent for crochet and crafts. She made many intricate and unique dolls, blankets, gifts, and decorations — most of her own design. Donna was also skilled in sewing. She sewed her own wedding dress and taught several of her nieces how to sew.
