Donna Kaye Enlow Rock, 82, of Apopka, Florida passed away peacefully on April 17, 2023. Donna was born on November 8, 1940 in Hodgenville, Kentucky. She was preceded in death by her parents, Anthony Vernon Enlow and Nancye Sympson Enlow, siblings Larry Collins, Darryl Enlow, Nancye Enlow Gallant, Ada True Enlow Christy, and Craig Enlow, and son-in-law Kevin Uhler.
Donna is survived by her loving husband of 64 years, Terry Lee Rock, three children, Kent Rock, Jeff (Laura) Rock, Teri Rock Uhler, and three grandchildren, Katie and Aiden Rock, and TJ (Ashley) Uhler.
Donna was a tremendous partner to her husband as he ascended his career and moved the family from Kentucky to Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio before settling in Florida after Terry retired. A devoted mother, Donna was the biggest cheerleader in all of her children’s endeavors. She was an accomplished tennis player and enjoyed much success throughout her playing days. Her fierce competitiveness was legendary whether it be on the the tennis court or playing cards. Photography became her passion in her later years capturing every family moment. She was an active member in her church and charities over the years. Her greatest joy came from her grandchildren and she loved nothing more than watching them succeed and flourish into young adults.
A celebration of life will be held at First Baptist Sweetwater Church,
3800 Wekiva Springs Road Longwood, Florida on Monday, April 24th. There will be a Gathering of Friends from 1:00 pm-2:00 pm with the service to follow at 2:00 pm.
A second celebration will be held in Kentucky at a later date.

I personally don’t know what I would have done without her and Terry in my time of need. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God bless her kind soul. It’s all about the memories. I will cherish them always. Love, Lisa Landers

While we are happy for Donna, we are sad for Terry and the family in their grief. May the nearness of God be with them during this difficult time.

Terry, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how difficult it is to be separated from your spouse and also from a mom. I enjoyed talking with Donna after church for many Sundays. She was a wonderful example to follow! May the Lord give you much comfort and peace.
