Donna Allison

Her body was not as strong as her spirit. Donna Catherine Allison of Waco passed away on July 12, 2020, at home surrounded by loved ones. She was a selfless, deeply loving, strong, and hard-working woman. She was a devoted mother to four wonderful children. She also left a mark on so many others with her love and kindness and desire to always help anyone in need. She loved gardening, going to the beach, hiking, drawing, painting, and just being outside.

She is preceded in death by her father James Allison, brother-in-law Carlos Castro, and nephew Jerry Tunmire.

She is survived by her four loving children: son Fred Crabtree and his wife JaeAyne of Forney, daughter Allison Moreno and her significant other Francis of Harker Heights, daughter Wesley Daniels of Waco, and daughter Rainy Moreno and husband Joe of Joshua. She also leaves behind seven deeply loved granddaughters: Chelsea, Zoi, Alyson, and Skylar Moreno; Clare and LeAyne Crabtree; and Wyatt Moreno. She is survived by her mother Annis Allison of Waco and sisters: Debbie Tunmire and husband Wayne, Denise Castro, Brenda Resendez and husband Ike, and Davilynn Thomas, all from the Waco area. She is also survived by many nephews and nieces, a huge extended family, and many friends who loved her.
