- Donald Owen "Donnie" Crowe, age 67, of Avilton died suddenly Sunday, April 22, 2018, with his loving wife, Rita, by his side. Born Aug. 30, 1950, in Frostburg, he was the son of the late Ellis and Nora (McKenzie) Crowe. He was preceded in death by his older brother, Ellis Jr. "Sonny" Crowe. His sister by choice, Barbara Lee Hammonds, Clearville, Pa., died April 19. He leaves behind his anguished wife, Rita (Hummel) Crowe; his beloved daughter, Dana Lynn Wentlejewski and husband, Joe, Arnold. He was PopPop to his beautiful granddaughters, Alana Ogilvie and Drew Wentlejewski. He is also survived by his closest brother, Nevin Crowe, Avilton; two special nephews, Jeff Jenkins, Frostburg, and Tim Jenkins, Hagerstown; two sisters, Edna Mae McKenzie, Grantsville, and Juanita Stoyka, Ohio; and a brother, Kevin Crowe, Charles Town, W.Va., as well as numerous nieces and nephews and Crowe cousins. He has two aunts, Emma Mae Walker, local, and Betty Garlitz, Ohio; and two uncles, Glenn and Ronald Crowe, Ohio. Among his closest friends and chosen family were Paula and Terence Casey, Bowie, and Judy and Gib Devey, Fredericksburg, Va. Extra special friends who remain behind are Sid and Billy Turner, Ray Miller and Bill Hemmis, local, Andy Day and Gil Day, Dry Run, Pa., Randy Steck, Annapolis, and Mike Vocke, Dry Run. Don retired as a regional manager for FPIS Inc. of Ocoee, Fla., in 2012, and had worked in management roles throughout the country for SCS Inc. Don served as Santa Claus with Rita as his Elfie throughout the community. He has been an avid hunter since his childhood and loved to hunt and be in the woods, where he died. He delighted in meeting people and having fun with his friends, of which there are many. Don hosted many family reunions and gatherings at Crowes Rest, where he was always the life of the party. He traveled extensively with Rita to places near and far, from Africa to Alaska and Hawaii, and last year to Iceland. At his request, his body has been cremated. Celebration of his splendid life is planned for a later date. Newman Funeral Homes, P.A., 179 Miller St., Grantsville, is in charge of cremation arrangements. Expressions of sympathy may be sent to his family at P.O. Box 275, Grantsville, MD 21536. Published in Cumberland Times-News on April 23, 2018
