Donna May Edwards, 74, of Camp Hill, PA, died on February 16, 2026, at her home, surrounded by her family. She was born on March 31, 1951, in New York to the late Harold R. and Edith M. (Phillips) Shupp.
Donna spent her early years traveling with her parents as a proud military child as her father served in the United States Navy. After her years of traveling, the family settled in Dallas, PA, and Donna graduated from Dallas High School. She followed her dream of being a teacher by attending and graduating from Bloomsburg University. After college, she married her husband (T.H. Edwards), and they enjoyed 51 years of marriage together. She was a stay-at-home mother for her two children throughout their school years, and starting in 1999, she became a full-time Nana to her two grandchildren. In the years that she could attend church, she attended Ebenezer United Methodist Church (Middletown). When she was no longer able to attend services in person, she would attend services on Facebook at Mt. Zion United Methodist Church (Enola). Donna had a love of Chincoteague, VA, and the pony herd located there; she enjoyed regular vacations with her family to this location and was able to participate in bringing a pony into their family on July 31, 2025.
Donna was preceded in death by her parents, (Harold R. and Edith M. Shupp) and her brother (Dale R. Shupp).
