Donna Ruth Hall Crafton

Age 68 of Dickson Tennessee endured a hard, fighting battle against an extremely rare condition, called AHUS until our Lord and Savior called her home. She was surrounded by loved ones when she peacefully passed on December 29, 2024, at Centennial Medical Center ICU in Nashville Tennessee. 

Donna was born on March 10, 1956, in Dickson, Tennessee. She was a lifelong Baptist and a longtime member of the Red Hat Society. Donna was very creative and spent time making hand crafted cards and gifts for her loved ones. She derived inspiration and enthusiasm from the beauty of nature, which she saw in all living things. The enjoyment she exuded, with her beautiful bright eyes and smile while watching birds and squirrels from her front porch or nature documentaries will be a daily reminder of the beauty this world has to offer. She was passionate about her heritage and faith, but above all the well-being of her children and grandchildren. She was fiercely devoted to maintaining a unique connection with each one. Those bonds will be cherished within our memories, hearts, and souls, “always and forever.” It’s never goodbye it’s always “see you, 2-later!”
