Donna Hulick

Donna Jean (Dearwester) Hulick, 73, of Lebanon, Tenn. and formerly of Ludington, passed away Monday, September 8, 2025 at home. She was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, John Hulick; daughter, Deborah (Hulick) Cottle; grandson, Evan Hulick, and her parents, Glenn & Elizabeth Dearwester.

She is survived by her children, Tracey (Jim) Chapman of Lebanon, Tenn.; Tim (Angela) Hulick of Kalamazoo; son-in-law, Christopher Cottle of Kentwood; grandsons, Austin, Levi and Brock Chapman; granddaughters, Makenna Hulick and Skyla Cottle; her only sibling, Richard (Judy) Dearwester of Shawnee, Kan., and numerous other loving family members.

Donna is remembered as a wife, mother, grandmother and friend with a gentle spirit and a kind heart that loved Jesus. She was a steady anchor in her family’s life as a committed homemaker who lovingly raised three children and was always there to help, guide and pray for them. Often she could be found making homemade cards to send out as encouragement and she loved cheering on her grandkids in whatever activities in which they were involved. People in her life knew they were loved and prayed for by her.

A Celebration of Life gathering will be held in the Cedar Room at the Fairfield Inn, Lebanon, Tenn. on Saturday, October 18, 2025. Visitation at 11 a.m. Service at noon with luncheon to follow.  Partlow Funeral Chapel is in care of arrangements. 615-444-7007 | www.partlowchapel.com
