Obituary:
Larsenia Kelly Donaldson, 74, of Orlando, Florida departed this life on Friday, November 22, 2024. Larsenia was born in Cairo, Georgia to the late Bonzee Kelly and Ira Lee Footman on December 3, 1949. Professionally, Larsenia was employed with Walt Disney as a customer service representative for over 40 years.
Larsenia was a very kind, generous, loving woman with a heart of gold. She dedicated her life to her raising and caring for her beloved family. She was an active member of Rejoice in the Lord Ministries, Apopka. She participated faithfully in Bible study, as a church greeter, and to put it mildly, when the church doors were open, she was present. She instilled love, wisdom, and Christian values for all her family to follow. In her spare time, she enjoyed travelling, cooking, gardening, doing puzzles, taking long walks, and just being around people. She was the glue of her family and a devoted wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Larsenia leaves her precious memories with her loving husband, Headley Donaldson Sr; 3 children, Vernon (Cynetrica) Kelly, Jacqueline (Frank) Donaldson-Francois, Annette (Keanu) Sales; siblings, Trudy Kelly, Ethel Footman, Lois Footman, Evelyn Brown, Scottie (Mavis) Footman, Ralph (Freda) Footman, Ira Lee Footman Jr., Robert Footman, Timothy Footman, and Bernard Footman; 10 grandchildren; 14 great grandchildren; a host of other relatives, church family and dear friends.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, November 30, 2024 from 10AM until services begin at 11:00AM at Rejoice in the Lord Ministries, 8053 Gilliam Road, Apopka with Pastor Roderick Zak, officiating. Interment: Woodlawn Memorial Park, Orlando, FL.

Where do I begin? My Friend, you were one of the sweetest, kindest, loving woman I have ever know. You taught me a lot about so many things, I could go on and on. You were out spoken, Fun, we had so many laughter, and fun, and so many good conversations together. I am just asking God help me to get alone without seeing you, and talking with you. You will forever have a special place in my💕💔 and I know you are resting so peacefully, with Jesus. And we will meet again. But until then. Farewell my Good friend. Love you, Sunshine so bright.
I am terribly sorry to hear the news about your mother. Please accept my condolences.
You and your whole family are in my thoughts and prayers 💕
Mom,
It just doesn’t seem real and I’m hoping to wake from this bad dream. Unfortunately, I have to come to terms that you are no longer here with us, but I know for a fact that your loving fun spirit carries on. I thank you so much for loving and caring for us and showing what it means to be strong, courageous, generous, loving, kind, and most of all appreciative. I don’t have enough words or space to share how an awesome and amazing mother you were, but what I will do is continue your legacy as I prepare to become a new mom myself. I love you and will forever miss you. Please hug Rhodia, Junior, and Aunt Juney for me.
Until we meet again, your daughter,
Annette M. Sales
