Donnie Lewis Alford was born on October 22, 1955, to the union of Henry Lee Alford and Laura Belle Wamble Alford. He has been a resident of Warm Springs, GA his entire life.
Donnie accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at Leverette Hill Baptist Church of Warm Springs, GA. He received his formal education at Meriwether County Public Schools. He was employed at Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation until his retirement in 2008 after 34 years of service.
Donnie was an avid fisherman and could sit on the banks for hours. He also loved planting and gardening and could make anything grow. He truly possessed a green thumb. Most of all, he loved his family and all others that crossed his path. He had a great spirit of help and would give anyone the shirt off of his back if he could. He helped his family and others in the community at the drop of a dime.
