Donna Overton Qurollo, 80, of Valdese, NC, went to heaven to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on March 14, 2023.
She was born to the late Harley and Olive Overton in Aurora, Illinois on August 30, 1942.
After graduating from East High School in Aurora, she attended Wheaton College. She received Jesus Christ as her personal Savior at age 16 and lived the rest of her life for Him.
She married James Qurollo on July 19, 1963, and gave birth to four sons whom she dearly loved.
Her greatest joy in life was serving her Lord and Savior alongside her husband as a pastor’s wife. She was also blessed to serve in various secretarial and teaching capacities in the churches and schools where they served in Illinois, North Carolina, Utah, and Florida. Above all else, she loved to share the Gospel and works that Jesus had done in her life.

Leave a tribute for Donna Overton Qurollo.
I was always proud to call this dear lady my grandma, even in the midst of something potentially embarrassing. She provided me with many laughs, copious amounts of brown sugar in my oatmeal, endless adventures; and most importantly, consistent, God-honoring influence as she lived her life. My heart is full of gratitude for the Lord blessing me (and many others) with her life.
