Radio veteran, Gospel Announcers Guild officer Donna Creer perishes in fire

GMF extends heartfelt condolences to and prayers on behalf of the family and many friends of gospel radio personality and GMWA Gospel Announcers Guild 2nd Vice President Donna Creer. She and her husband Donald passed this morning when fire struck their Little Rock, AR home, according to published reports. (Click here for the story from ABC affiliate KATV.)

Very recently, prayer requests circulated online after Creer was hospitalized due to a reported “serious and critical situation.”

I met Donna last July at GMWA, and she was a warm and kind spirit. I was blessed by our brief time together, her wealth of knowledge, and her willingness to pass it along.
