Donna Paulette Crowe

Donna Paulette Crowe daughter of Abraham McElveen and Olive Mae McElveen was born on November 13, 1951, in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Donna was a loving, kind-hearted woman, with a zest for life. Donna began her career at USAirways in Crystal City and worked her way up to station manager at Norfolk International Airport where she remained until her retirement in 2015. She also enjoyed traveling the world with her significant other, friends, and family. She was full of fun and considerate of the needs of others. Donna was the type who could walk into a room full of strangers and her energy would light up the room and she would leave having made new friends. She loved music and singing (even though she always sang the wrong words), dancing, loved to make people laugh and always had a smile on her face. She was loved by many and to know her was to love her. To Donna, family was everything, she was a devoted mother to her 2 children, Aftyn and Derek, who she loved more than life itself. She left so many beautiful memories for them to cherish forever.

Donna departed life on Thursday, January 26, 2023, at VCU medical center in Richmond, Virginia. She was preceded in death by her father, Abraham Mcelveen, and mother, Olive Mcelveen.

Her beautiful life will forever be cherished in the lives of her significant other Terrence Willingham, daughter aftyn Crowe, son Derek Spivey, brother Daniel Hannon, sister Gail Hill, soon-to-be grandchild Donovan Paul Spivey, as well as a host of nieces, nephews, and special friends.
