In the realm of academia, where wisdom and compassion intertwine, Dr. Donna Rockwell's spirit shined like a beacon of light. Her passing has left a void, not just in the hearts of those she taught but in the very soul of the scholarly world she so profoundly touched.

I was fortunate to be one of her students, absorbing her teachings in mindfulness during my PhD journey. Our last meeting, just a week before her untimely departure, remains etched in my memory. It was a moment of profound connection and guidance, a testament to her extraordinary ability to reach into the depths of one’s spirit.

Dr. Donna's guidance was not just academic; it was a lifeline drawn from her own vast experiences. As I grappled with my near-death experience post-deployment, she stood as a pillar of strength and understanding. Her words were not just teachings; they were a prothetic road map to navigate the complex terrain of life and its many battles.

Our conversations span from personal anecdotes of our experiences serving on Capitol Hill. Her insights into the Afghan war, shaped by experiences and discussions that even found their way into the press, were illuminating. She wasn’t just teaching; she was sharing a part of her life, her insights, a rare glimpse into a world where policy and humanity intersect.

In her, I found more than a professor; I discovered a mentor, a guiding light. She said, Make sure you are following me on social media Already Famous with Dr. Donna! Her empathy, understanding, and nurturing ability were nothing short of angelic. She was more than an educator; she was a healer of souls, gently guiding her students through the tumultuous journey of life.

To Dr. Donna's family, friends, and colleagues, words may seem inadequate in the face of such a loss. Yet, in this moment of grief, we are united in the legacy she leaves behind. A legacy of wisdom, compassion, and a relentless pursuit of understanding.

As I continue on my path, the lessons and memories of Dr. Donna Rockwell travel with me. Her influence is indelible, a guiding force as I navigate the challenges ahead. In her memory, I find the strength to persevere to face the future with courage and hope.

Let us all remember Dr. Donna not just for the knowledge she imparted but for the lives she touched. She was more than a professor; she was a light in the darkness, a beacon of hope, and a testament to the power of human connection.

In honoring her memory, we embrace her teachings and continue her journey of mindfulness and compassion. Dr. Donna Rockwell, your spirit lives on in each of us, guiding, inspiring, and reminding us of the profound impact one life can have on many.

May your soul rest in peace, and your legacy continue to inspire and guide us all.

I Love You, Malaysia Harrell

I also met Donna at an RC. You could see her red hair and her energy move through the crowd. She gave such good welcome and goodbye hugs. The schedule meant our classes often finished up late in the RC, which meant we could have those relieved and relaxed conversations about mindfulness, Buddhism, and life over the last RC dinner. There is a hole in the fabric of our world that was Donna, and her energy carries us forward.

Oh goodness, Dr. Donna - you were a shining light in my Saybrook journey. You touched my heart and made way for my light to come through. You are such a beautiful soul. I’d been keeping track of you through your ‘Already Famous’ videos and felt blessed to have been one of the many you shined your beautiful love onto. You were cherished and I am so grateful for our times together. So much love for you. ❤️❤️❤️ Kari

I remember the first day I met you, leading the mindfulness retreat at Saybrook. You were playing a song, Offering Chant unplugged, that was haunting in a touching your soul kind of way. You were so welcoming, encouraging, and sparked my meditation journey. I am forever grateful for you and your kindness 💗

This photo was taken in 2018, when a powerful group of humanistic women - including Donna - gathered under the presentation title #ustoo in speaking to violence against women. Now, as I read these beautiful memorials, I want to say it again in a different way - in addition to so many who are grieving and celebrating, I say "us too" - we miss you something fierce Donna, but from all you gave, we possess the wisdom to find our way while keeping you with us. Hail the Traveler, she has gone Shining!!
