Donna Jean (Rupley) Beebe

Donna Jean (Rupley) Beebe, age 84, of Roswell, GA, passed away on April 8, 2026, at Wellstar Hospice Care at Kennesaw Mountain after an almost two-year battle with cancer.

She was born on March 12, 1942, in Toledo, Ohio, to Wayne and Myrtle (Wittich) Rupley.

Donna worked for the Anthony Wayne School District for several years, beginning as a member of the lunch staff and later as an aide for the special needs program, which she greatly enjoyed. Everyone who knew Donna was aware of her deep passion for art and considered her to be a very talented artist. Not a day went by without her working on some form of artistic creation or being outside tending to her flower beds, both of which brought her great joy.

Donna and her husband, Charles F. Beebe, moved from Monclova, Ohio, to Leesburg, FL in 2015. After Chuck's passing in 2021, she remained in Florida until the Fall of 2025, when she relocated to Roswell, GA, to be closer to family while continuing her cancer treatments.

She was preceded in death by her husband Charles F. Beebe, her parents, Wayne & Myrtle Rupley, and brother-in-law Paul Strabley.

Donna is survived by her three children: Charles F. Beebe, Jr. of Cadiz, KY, and Brett (Kim) Beebe of Canton, GA, and Jennifer St. Arnaud of Rice Lake, her three siblings: Barbara (Tom) Motzinger, Carol Strabley, and Kenneth (Joyce) Rupley. Additionally, she leaves behind six grandchildren—Brittney, Kyle, Sean, Nick, Autumn, and Stephen, along with six great- grandchildren and several loving nieces and nephews.

There will be no local services at this time.
