November 18, 1945, to Roy Curtis Offett,
Sr., and Willa Belle Williams Offett in
Indianapolis, Indiana.
Donald attended IPS #87 and Crispus
Attucks High School. He was employed
for many years by Allison Transmission in
Indianapolis. Donald professed a hope in
Christ at an early age, and late in his life, he
joined Witherspoon Presbyterian Church.
Donnie, as he was affectionately called by family and friends, was
a deeply religious family man. Although wheelchair-bound later
in life, he stood tall with an inviting smile and warm heart.
Donnie enjoyed playing baseball, singing, and spending quality
time with his children, grandchildren, and other family members.
But most of all, he enjoyed visiting his beloved mother.
