Suffolk - Donna Marie Willoughby, 59, of Suffolk Virginia, passed away unexpectedly on 10/11/2025. She was a loving daughter, sister, aunt, and somewhat stepmom, whose sudden loss has left a void in the hearts of her family and friends.

Donna came into the world on 07/29/1966 in Charleston South Carolina to Alfred "Pete" Willoughby & Glenda Gale Willoughby.
