Obituary

Donna L. Eskew, 90, went home to her Savior Jesus on October 10, 2026. She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Eskew; her parents, Samuel and Rosa Harmon; her siblings, Lee Harmon, James Davis, Margaret McDaniel, Gene Harmon, and Patty Stone (her twin); and her son-in-law, David W. Jackson. She is survived by her daughters, Cheryl Jackson and Vickie Berghorst (Steve), her grandchildren Alexis Austin (Matthew) and David B. Jackson, her great-grandson Matthew Austin, her nephew Scott Chapman (Yvonne), her siblings Doris Nelson (Calvin), Charlotte Gritt (Frank), David Harmon (Karen), and Norma Dougherty (Terry).

Donna was born in Red House, WV. She met her husband Robert in Charleston, WV, at the Owens-Illinois glass factory. Robert's job led them to spend most of their lives between Charlotte, MI, and Godfrey, IL.

Donna was a member of Calvary Baptist Church in Alton, IL, where she served with the homebound ministry and kept the nursery and children's rooms clean. She enjoyed doing puzzles, watching hummingbirds, taking care of her plants, and being with her friends and family. She always took time to listen and be a good friend.
