Some stories stay with you long after the headlines fade. The story of Jenea Harvison and her younger brother Donell McDonald is one of them...not because of the unfortunate event itself, but because of the love, ambition, and family bond that defined their lives. Jenea was a young mother, a business owner, and a woman determined to build something meaningful for her community. Alongside her brother Donell, she helped run Success Kidz, a family‑owned daycare that served as both a safe space for children and a symbol of what hard work can create. They were more than siblings...they were business partners, dreamers, and each other’s daily support system. But on a spring morning in 2015, everything changed. In the parking lot of their own business — the place they poured their hearts into — Jenea and Donell’s lives were taken in an act of a domestic‑related incident that stunned their family and the entire Columbus community. Their mother, Crystal Turner, lost two of her children in the same moment. A daycare lost its leaders. A community lost two bright lights. And a family’s world shifted forever. What makes their story

so heartbreaking is not just how they passed, but how they lived. Jenea was known for her drive, her warmth, and her ability to uplift others. Donell was described as loyal, hardworking, and deeply connected to his family. Together, they represented hope... the kind of hope that comes from building something with your own hands and serving the people around you. Their story is a reminder of how quickly life can change, and how important it is to recognize the signs of unhealthy relationships before they escalate. It’s also a call to support families who are navigating loss, healing, and the long road of rebuilding after domestic issues. Today, Jenea and Donell are remembered not for the moment that took them away, but for the lives they touched, the children they cared for, and the love they shared with their family. Their legacy lives on in the memories of those who knew them — and in the ongoing conversations about safety, awareness, and the importance of protecting those who are trying to leave difficult situations. May their story continue to inspire change, compassion, and accountability.
