Donna Wimbish Keenom

After 21 years as an Optician, I changed careers. Employed at FedEx since 2000, working nights the first 10 years, then relocated to Memphis, relocated to Lakeland Florida, now I’m back in MemphisTN in August 2021.

Garry and I have been married since 1993. He has shared parenting of my 3 children that I had with our fellow classmate and my friend, Don Young. We have all three been involved in our childrens' lives, Rob, Amy and Karolyn, and now we are all grandparents to Addison, Evan, Skylee, Macy, Emma Grace, Ava Gail, Nora Mae, Jude, Kayleigh, Kierra, Amity, and Izaac. My three children and grandchildren are some of the greatest blessings in my life.

I received my Bachelor of Science, Business Admin, Management, and Strategy on April 21, 2014. I graduated June 2015 with my MBA in Business Management and Financial Strategy. After traveling internationally for my job 2015-2019 I then got a domestic role with the company.

I'm also blessed to still have people like my very dear friend Patricia Finney Hawkins and her daughter Emily in my life. To know that we keep in touch and as far as I'm concerned my children and grandchildren are as much hers as mine. For years she has been my rock, my joy and the one to keep me focused on hope when life's journey took a turn for the worse a few times now. Emily is my sunshine. When I'm around her, she knows just when I need that smile to lift me up. Friends like that are priceless. I don’t get to see the in person as often as I would like but I love that friends like this just pick up where we left off on a call.

I cherish my friends from my school days, all are very precious. You gave me many wonderful memories to hold near and dear to my heart for many years to come.

Individual Sports class. We would leave campus to go bowling, Tennis at Tillis Park, etc. It was fun
