Donna Lynn Comstock

Donna Lynn (Robbins) Comstock, age 73 passed away on October 14, 2024. Her kind and gentle spirit created a lasting legacy of love and family. Donna was born to Garland and Loretta Robbins on October 18, 1950. After graduating from Caney High School in 1968, Donna worked at ConocoPhillips until her retirement in 2001. It was there that she met the love of her life, Gary Comstock. Donna and Gary were married 33 years, and they were the best of friends. Their adventures ranged from fishing to family vacations to trying to hit the big one in Vegas. After marrying, Donna and Gary blended their families with four children between them. As the family grew, so did the pot of homemade Thanksgiving noodles. Their home was the hub for family gatherings, whether it was a day by the pool, an official holiday celebration, or a NASCAR Sunday. These times were filled with country music, one-upping each other’s jokes, and a heaping dose of love from “Muger”, as she was affectionately known. Her touch made the house a home. She grew flowers and gardens, transforming a bare deck into a lush retreat. She painted the living room at least a dozen times, but the most recent color was just right. Beyond creating a beautiful space, she made a home by providing undivided, unhurried attention to all who came. She listened, counseled, and was ready to give hell to anyone who wasn’t on your side. As her granddaughter Kortney said, “Anytime you left her house, you always felt a little bit happier.” Family meant everything to Donna. Growing up with eight siblings, she continued to keep those close bonds throughout her life. She is preceded in death by two sisters, Sherry Robbins and Melody Richey, and one brother, Michael Robbins. She is survived by five siblings: Mary Dale, her twin David, Rick, Jim, and Mark. The Robbins family loved gathering often, being outside, and sharing meals, all traditions that Donna passed on to her own family. Donna’s legacy is her own large family, of which she was the center. She is survived by her husband Gary, her son Marlin Barnhart and wife Jody, son Quentin Barnhart and wife Lori, daughter Konlyn Barnhart, and daughter Emily Gordon and husband James. Her love will live on through the grandchildren who grew up in her home: Cailyn, Kortney, Bryce, Breckyn, Maya, Ki Jae, Jesse, Hailey, Brooklyn, and Emma. She is also survived by her great-grandchildren Kynnlee, Kamdynn, Madden, Shepard, Chancy, Rowan, Tripp, Hayzie, and a great grandchild on the way. Visitation will be held on Thursday, October 24th from Noon-8 p.m. and the family will receive friends from 6-7 p.m. Visitation will also be held Friday, 10-1 p.m. at the Davis Family Funeral Home & Crematory – Walker Brown Chapel. Services will be held on Friday, October 25th, at 2 p.m., at the Davis Family Funeral Home & Crematory – Walker Brown Chapel. Interment will follow in the Sunnyside Cemetery, Caney, KS. Services are under the direction of Carter Davis and the Davis Family Funeral Home & Crematory – Walker Brown Chapel.
