Donnie Peterson "DP" was born on December 13, 1950. to the late Mr. Henry Peterson and Mrs. Elsie Cason Peterson. He was preceded in death by both parents: one sister, Forestine Dixon; and one brother, Leroy Peterson.

Donnie was a devoted employee at Flower's Bakery Company for forty years. Don, as he was affectionately called, had a heart of gold. He departed from this earthly life on January 26, 2023.

Donnie leaves to cherish his memories: his wife of fifty years, Lizzie Peterson of Quitman, GA; two brothers David Quinn, Sr., and Bennie Peterson, Sr. (Mattie), both of Atlanta, Ga: two very special caregivers Lateisha Mitchell and Re'Marion "RJ' Jenkins, both of Quitman, GA; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He will be dearly missed, but never forgotten.
