It is with deep sorrow that we confirm the passing of Donna Crossman following a tragic accident on Sunday evening. Donna was not only an exceptional Wales and Celtic Dragons Team Manager between 2014 and 2018 but also a beloved member of our community particularly the South East Region where Donna was most recently Team Manager of South East Blaze in the first edition of the National League in 2023.
Donna’s dedication, passion, and commitment to Netball is unparalleled. Her leadership and spirit inspired everyone around her, leaving an indelible mark on players, colleagues, and friends. She will be profoundly missed by many people.
Catherine Lewis, Wales Netball Chair said of Donna, “She was a fabulous, caring individual, always looking to support and help others. Netball in Wales is a better place for having Donna as part of its family. Donna was very much loved and will be missed.”
Our thoughts and condolences are with Donna’s family, friends, and all those whose lives she touched. In this time of mourning, let us remember her contributions and the positive impact she made in the world of Netball and beyond. Donna is pictured on the right.
