Donna Marie Crowder, 81, of Molino, Florida, passed away peacefully on July 9, 2025, just one day after celebrating her birthday. She was born on July 8, 1944, in Radford, Virginia, to the late Millard and Sadie McDaniel of Radford, Virginia. Donna shared 27 beautiful years of marriage with her beloved husband, Ralph Doyle Crowder, who preceded her in death in 1995. Together they built a life filled with love, resilience, and deep devotion to family. She is survived by her sons, Ralph Doyle Crowder and his wife Rhonda of Adelanto, California, and Charles Robert "Bob" Crowder and his wife Tammy. She was a proud grandmother to Cody and his wife Brynn of Blanchard, Oklahoma; Blake and his wife Natalie of Billings, Montana; Caleb of Great Falls, Montana; and Emma of Great Falls, Montana. Donna was also blessed with one great-grandchild, Jared Everett Crowder. She is also survived by Steve and Denise McDaniel of Charleston, South Carolina, and Malinda Dale McDaniel of Molino, Florida, along with numerous nieces and nephews and many friends who loved her dearly. Donna will be remembered for her kindness, grace, and quiet strength. She loved her family deeply and created a warm, loving presence wherever she went. Her life serves as a reminder that the greatest legacy we leave is the love we give to others. She is preceded in death by her parents, Millard and Sadie McDaniel, as well as her husband, Ralph Doyle Crowder. Though she will be deeply missed, her memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. Services were private. The Crowder family is in the care of Mullins Funeral Home in Radford. www.mullinsfuneralhome.com
