A.M. Donovan

A.M. Donovan, a beloved soul, was born on July 10, 1949, in Kearny, NJ, to the late William and Anna Alley Smith. Throughout her life, she brought joy and compassion to everyone around her, particularly through her dedication as a paralegal for many years.

Mrs. Donovan had a remarkable passion for animals, and her commitment to their welfare shone brightly through her support of various animal rescues. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life, whether it was exploring new destinations on cruises or weaving her creativity into beautiful patterns while crocheting.

On November 15, 2025, A.M. Donovan peacefully departed this life in Bethel Springs, Tennessee, at the age of 76. She leaves behind her devoted husband, Robert Crespo; her cherished brother and sister, and a host of beloved animals who were her constant companions.

As we remember A.M., let us celebrate the kindness and warmth that she shared with all. Her spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

Private services were held.

In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to your local humane society or animal rescue.
