MS. DONNA MICHELLE BREWSTER
A Graveside Service for Ms. Donna Michelle Brewster will be held Saturday, October 17, 2020, at 1 p. m. at Rest Haven Memorial Park, 4615 E. Hanna Avenue, Tampa, Fl, 33605.
Donna Michelle Brewster, the daughter of the late Henry Allen Graham and the late Inez Cather- ine Graham, was born January 21, 1958, in Fayetteville, North Carolina. She was called to her eternal rest on October 10, 2020.
Donna was educated in the Fayetteville City School District and left home at an early age, re- locating to Tampa, Florida, where she met and married Whitfield D. Brewster, Sr. To this union, the Brewsters were blessed with three beautiful children.
Donna was introduced to Christ at a young age by her ma- ternal grandmother, Hattie Bell Elliott. She attended Revival Cen- ter Church of God In Christ. She sang on the youth choir and par- ticipated in the Youth Peoples Willing Workers (YPWW). Donna lived life to the fullest and sought to enjoy every day the Lord granted her.
When her health began to fail, she remained upbeat and rarely complained of feeling poorly. She kept a smile on her face and loved to laugh. More than laughter, she loved her children. She had moved back to North Carolina for a few years but again relocated to Tampa in 2010 as the yearning to be close to her children beckoned her. She remained devoted to lov- ing them for the remainder of her life.
She was preceded in death by: her parents and two brothers, Arphanius Flanoy Graham and Henry Allen Graham, Jr.
Donna leaves to mourn her passing and cherish fond memo- ries of her life: two sons, Rodney D. Brewster (Terrah) and Whit- field D. Brewster, Jr. (Audlisha), of Tampa, Florida; one daughter, Crystal C. Brewster of California; one brother, James (Jimmy) Gra- ham; three sisters, Geraldine Graham, Erma Graham and Pa- tricia Crouch (Michael), all of Fayetteville, North Carolina; a generation of grandchildren, Do- minique Brewster, Kaitlyn Brew- ster, Rionna Ford (Tyrell) Zoe Brewster, Ian Grice, Jr., Amyah Brewster, Amani Brewster, Rod- ney Brewster, Jr.; special friend, Tamika; and a host of other rela- tives and friends that loved her dearly.
