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. She graduated from Coventry HS in 1985 and went on to explore what the world had to offer. By far, her favorite career was her time as an EMT and working for the Tweetsie Railroad in North Carolina.

Donna will be remembered for her ability to find the humor in every situation. She had a big heart and loved animals. She had an immense passion for painting and crafting and loved spending time with her dog Terra and of course her family.

Donna was preceded in death by her grandmother Betty J Renner, father Alfred Thomas Willoughby Jr, her brother Gary Corbin Willoughby, and her beloved dogs Jake, Leah, Ugg & Charlie (just to name a few).

She is survived by her loving mother Glenda Gale Willoughby, brother Steven Willoughby & sister Kelly Willoughby Croke. As well as her nieces Heather Stoner, Kelly Cravey & Susan Darden, her nephews Steven Willoughby, Nick White, & Jordan Willoughby, and lastly her somewhat stepson Scotty Proctor Jr.
