😢 😢 🕊️

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we must pass along the sad news of the passing of our dear friend and longtime member of the ODU tennis community, Donna Davis. If you got the wonderful opportunity to meet her, then you know what a beautiful person she was. We love you Donna.
-------
"Some people bring a light so bright that even after they are gone, the light remains."

To our dear friend, Donna, whose radiant smile was the heart and soul of the Folkes Stevens Tennis Center.

Day after day, year after year, Donna poured her heart into the ODU tennis community. Beyond her job, she devoted endless hours to making sure everyone who walked in felt like family—playing with our children, offering candy, sharing books, and always listening. She transformed a sports facility into a true home.

Though she left us far too suddenly, her impact, boundless kindness, and warmth are forever woven into the foundation of our community.

Dear Donna, thank you, for every minute, every smile, and every act of care. You are deeply missed, forever cherished, and never forgotten.
Love,
Pilar
