Mrs. Donna Rocille (Allen) Bouchie, age 63, of Bell, FL, passed away on April 19, 2022, at the Haven Hospice in Chiefland. Donna was born on July 29, 1958, in Clearwater. As a teen, she moved up to Dixie County, to be closer to family. Coming from humble beginnings, Donna had to work to provide for her family. Walking three miles to work, carrying two toddlers, instilled a drive and determination that would follow her throughout her life. She was an incredibly strong woman who loved her family, people around her, and most importantly, her God. If you knew her, you loved her. She was a faithful servant and member at the First Baptist Church of Old Town where she was active on the prayer list, sent out cards and invitations, and loved on people. When she wasn’t serving at the church, she enjoyed sewing, coloring, working in the yard, her flowers, and her animals, Sadie Bug her dog and Rosie her cat. She was preceded in death by her husband, Samuel Bouchie, her parents, Wilbur and Beverly (Wolfe) Allen and a daughter DeeDee of New Hampshire.
