Ladonna was first introduced to Jesus by her parents Lewis and Louise Villers as they served the Lord in Kentucky and all over the state of West Virginia with American Baptist Churches.
She graduated from Wirt County High School in 1982 and completed several semesters in Education at WVU-P. Ladonna eagerly served in many capacities of ministry and service. She was always the first person to volunteer to serve and support whatever activities her daughters were involved in from PTO President, Home Room Mom, Band Boosters, Band Uniform Sewing, keeping the books at basketball games, to hosting Home Football Game Pizza Nights for friends and family. Ladonna worked full-time for Wirt County BOE for over 20 years and loved "her kids." She loved her people fiercely! Ladonna will be greatly missed by all who came to know her as a loving and generous follower of Christ!
