It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Kristy Lee Palmer Valentino. Born on October 18, 1978, in Maryland, she left this world far too soon on November 17, 2025, in Germantown, Maryland.
Kristy is survived by her loving husband, Phil; her cherished children, Anthony, Aiden, and Aria; her supportive parents: Eddie and Shirley Palmer; sister, Tina Donahoe (Royce) and brother, Eddie, Jr. (Deana). She also leaves behind her adoring nieces and nephews—Mark and his wife, Kelly; Kimberly and her husband, Jeremy; Jake, Josh, Alexis, Bryce, Madison, Ryan, Austin, Kaia, and baby Kinsley. Alongside this beautiful circle of family, Kristy was surrounded by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who cherished her deeply and appreciated the light she brought into their lives.
Though Kristy has departed from this earth, her spirit will forever be woven into the fabric of those who loved her. Her smile and her angelic voice may now live in their memories, but they are among the most beautiful recollections her family will ever hold dear.
Visitation will be held on November 23, 2025, from 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM, followed by a funeral service at 2:30PM at Donaldson Funeral Home, P.A. Chapel, located at 313 Talbott Ave, Laurel, MD 20707. Kristy Lee Palmer Valentino will always be remembered, loved, and missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
