Young Woman Saves Lives Through Donation after Apartment Fire
LifeShare Celebrates National Donate Life Month

OKLAHOMA CITY (April 19, 2021) – Donna Burrell is a hero. She was a mother, daughter and sister. She enjoyed going to church, writing stories and even aspired to write a novel about her life. 

Her family remembers her huge smile, larger than life sense of humor and her fierce love for her sons. Donna’s mother and sisters remember her joyful spirit at a young age in a fairy-tale like memory of going to the park to catch fireflies and have a picnic. That joyful spirit carried on with her into adult life – and she made a beautiful and fun life for her family.

In 2016, her apartment in Oklahoma City caught fire. Her fiancé Phillip, Donna and two of her sons escaped from the fire. She ran back into the burning building in an attempt to save her son Zeus who was eventually rescued by firefighters.  READ FULL STORY
