Donna Kaye Crain Purvis

Memorial services for Donna Kaye Crain Purvis, 53, of Nacogdoches will be held Sunday, May 30, 2010 at 4:00 p.m. in the Carroway Funeral Home Chapel with Brother Jimmy Simmons, pastor of Grandview Baptist Church in Henderson, officiating.

Donna was born March 29, 1957 in Lufkin, Texas to Lucille (Parrish) and V.O. Crain, and died Monday, May 24, 2010 at her residence.
Donna spent most of her life in Lufkin and Pollok, and lived her last two years in Nacogdoches. She worked in the retail and medical industries, and devoted much of her time to the interests of her three children. Donna was always eager to offer help to friends and family. She loved photography and being outdoors - fishing, listening to music, or just sitting near a fire - and she was happiest when living the simple life with people she loved.
Survivors include her daughter, Leslie Burns and son-in-law, Private First Class Brice Burns (USA) of Ft. Bliss, Texas; sons, J. Purvis of Pollok and Major Justin Hill (USAF) and daughter-in-law, Jennifer Hill of Alexandria, Virginia; grandchildren, Brylee, Nolan and Brody Burns and Aaron Hill; and sister, Diane Simmons and brother-in-law, Norman Simmons of Henderson.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Lucille and V.O. Crain.
