Donna Marie Foley, 50, passed away on Wednesday, September 15, 2021, surrounded by her family. Donna was a native of Newport News her entire life. She was a phlebotomist for Labcorp for 10 years.

Donna loved to laugh and always had a smile on her face. She loved her family and loved being called Nah-Nah by her grandchildren. Being a country girl, she loved being outside and loved hunting with her husband. Donna was an avid antique and yard sales shopper and was addicted to shopping on Amazon. She watched the Pittsburgh Steelers games and loved going out to eat. As a child, her mother called her “chatter-box” and it stayed with her for her entire life.

Donna is survived by her husband of seven years, Timothy Foley; parents, Linda Hill Chapman and Douglas Blake Chapman; daughters, Heather McSwine (Lewis) and Jamie Foley Inscoe (Michael); sons, Chris Ivey (Linsey), Blake Ivey (Jamacia fiancé), Todd Foley; eight grandchildren, Leia McSwine, Trinity Green, Cooper, and Preston Ivey, Ava and Eli Perriello, Landon and Cody Inscoe; and one brother, Michael Chapman (Gilda).

    My baby doll,
    I love you with all my heart, not sure why God took you so soon.
    We had many dreams and plans, Our love for one another was so beautiful together.
    From our first date, we knew something was different we connected on so many levels and our story began.
    We lived a full life together in a short period of time, however we had a lot of unfinished dreams, unfinished journeys, unfinished vacations to live.
    I miss you with all my heart.
    I love you with all my heart.
    You will forever be with me in my heart.
    All your cares and worries are gone now, no more pain.
    You were my best friend and wonderful wife.
    You are now my beautiful angel, with me with me forever in my heart, mind & soul.
    Rest now.
    I will love you forever.

    Your best friend and husband.

    Donna had a way to brighten a room with her sweet giggles and gorgeous eyes. Full of life. I am so sorry. But always remember. Ultimately we know God Is love, will hold your hand as you go through this, and is a good good Father. Maybe God let her come in those pearly gates early to get your cabin/cottage/farm house ready for y’all to retire together in.
