    Donald "DD", age 79, passed away on Tuesday, November 24, 2020. He was a lifelong resident of Independence, LA. DD was an extremely hard worker and dedicated many years as a mechanic. He took great pride in providing for his family and always made sure they did not go without. After he retired, DD took an interest in raising dachshunds and had 4 that he considered his babies.

He is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Hester Blount Bankston; son, Donnie Lynn Bankston Sr. and wife Stephanie; sister, Dorothy Hoyt; grandchildren, Donna Lowe and husband Bo, Donnie Lynn Bankston Jr.; great-grandchildren, Jameson, Jalanea, Jullian, and Jacelyn Lowe; sister-in-law, Elsie Bankston; and numerous nieces and nephews.
