Donna (Davidson, Davis) Powell Obituary

Visit the Schrader-Howell Funeral Home website to view the full obituary.

Donna Carol (Davidson, Davis) Powell, age 82 of Troy, passed away Sunday, August 17, 2025 at AHC in Union City.  Mrs. Donna was born in Northville Township, MI on February 6, 1943.  She married Mr. Ervan Spencer Powell on July 16, 1997.  He survives.  She was a homemaker.

She is survived by two daughters, Penny Sue and Angel; nine grandchildren, Amanda, Daniel, Amy Joy, Anthony, Samantha, Lacy, Holly, Spencer and Darin; fourteen great-grandchildren; and eight great-great-grandchildren.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by one son, Tonny Lee Powell and one daughter, Tina Marrie (Davis) Marr.

Donna led a long life full of family, friends and Bingo!  She loved crafts, knitting, and her two dogs - "Sugar" and "Ladybug". But what she loved the most, was being able to re-connect and marry her childhood love, Spencer Powell and spending their last 28 years together. She passed away peacefully after being in hospice since August 11. Her husband was by her side and the room was full of love. 

May she rest peacefully. She will truly be missed.

Friends may gather at the Schrader-Howell Funeral Home, 280 South Main Street, Plymouth, Michigan on Wednesday, October 8, 2025 from 10:00 A.M. until the time of the Memorial Service at 1:00 P.M.
