Donald and family returned to Georgia in 1989 and planted roots at the Ivey General Store in 1991. Donald loved spending time with his family, especially his 5 grandchildren. He also enjoyed shooting pool league with his friends, and watching his favorite sports teams, but his life’s work was building and growing the store, and often, its employees. Donald helped many employees and customers through hardships and happiness. He was an honest and fair man who built his family and business around integrity and hard work. Donald made a large impact on the small community of Ivey. His legacy will carry on through his family and the store.
