Donna Elaine Livingston, 53, of Gower, MO passed away April 25, 2021.

She was born on December 15, 1967 to Leroy Wayne and Phyllis Elaine (Farr) Davis in St. Joseph, MO. Donna grew up in rural Gower and in 1986 she graduated from East Buchanan High School. 

On August 3, 1991 she was united in marriage to Patrick “Pat” Kim Livingston. After their marriage they lived near Gower, where they made their home. Pat passed away on February 20, 2005. In June of 2012 Donna was united with her partner Kirby Crump and he became her and her daughter’s “rock”. 

Donna worked for Heartland Medical Center, Farmland Industries, North Kansas City Hospital, Platte Valley Bank and she was currently the manager for the Gower Domiciliary. 

She had an incredible gift and talent for crafting and a passion for baking and cooking. She was a perfectionist and spent many hours decorating her cookies and cupcakes for birthdays, baby and wedding showers, Carly’s volleyball team and any other occasion. If you gave her a theme, she would always deliver above and beyond your expectations. Donna loved riding motorcycles, anything Harley and the KC Chiefs. Most of all, Donna never missed an activity and was her family’s #1 Fan.
