Obituary – Donna Crossgrove

Donna (Mavis) Crossgrove, age 75, daughter of Eugene and Mary (Spillman) Mavis, was born October 17, 1950, in Kansas City, Mo. She passed away November 15, 2025, at Phelps Health Hospital, Rolla, Mo.

Donna loved gardening and was a wonderful quilter; she loved making quilts for her children. Anyone who saw her work regarded it as a gift, knowing it was made with love and care.

Donna loved her children and grandchildren and never met a baby she couldn’t sing and pat to sleep. Donna lived for Sunday dinners with her family, cooking and spending the day playing games.

Donna will be missed by all who knew her!
