Donna Jeanne (Peavey) Chancey, affectionately dubbed "Grana" by her grandkids, passed away peacefully on June 16, 2025, at the age of 79. Born in Orlando, Florida in December of 1945, her life was dedicated to her family and friends. She graduated from Lakeview High School and married her husband, Talmadge, in 1964.

She is survived by her son, Louis "Tiger" Chancey (Karen) of Lakeland and son, Robert Chancey (Jennifer) of Ocoee, grandchildren Courtney, Emily and Corey, and her 10 great-grandchildren.
