Death date: Jan 29, 2025
Peter Livingston and his wife, Donna, both 48, along with their daughters, Everly, 14, and Alydia, 11, passed away together as a family on January 29, 2025, aboard American Airlines Flight 5342. Peter was born on May 18, 1976 in Read Obituary
I was a friend of Alydia’s, after I moved away we never texted, the last text I had from her was when I was invited to dinner with her family, which I declined because my parents already made dinner, and right now I’d do anything to go back and just ask if I could, or try to arrange something else, Alydia was a friend, and a sister figure to me, I miss her everyday and I know she would have been a great figure skater and achieved all her dreams, one of which was to be in Disney On Ice.
I am a Northern Virginia native. I didn't know this family but I love watching the figure skaters. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.
I didn't know the family personally but we share a last name. The motto has always been if your last name is Livingston we are related somehow. I'm of the New York Livingstons, a large & prolific family. These Livingstons, gone to soon, are forever in our prayers.

Livingston and Smojice families, I am heart-broken for your loss. Friday’s memorial service was beautiful. Both Everly and Alydia were my students @ Dominion Trail ES. The memory of them that makes me smile is of the video they submitted for the school’s talent show during Covid. The girls did a joyful rollerskating routine in the street. It was a difficult time in the world, and their rollerskating routine lifted our spirits.
With deepest sympathy,

I was fortunate to play 5 years with Peter on 2 different teams; his joy and enthusiasm for the game will not be forgotten. More importantly, his love for his family came shining through in many locker room conversations. May they all rest in peace.
As a kid, my family would visit our Virginia cousins every summer. My sister, brother and I always looked forward to seeing/hanging out with Peter and our other cousins down south. I will always remember Peter for his great sense of humor and ability to make every visit fun and full of memories. Many prayers are being offered for the entire Livingston family and their friends.
Peter was a friend who looked out for and cared for those he was close with. His humor was unmatched, and in hindsight, his occasional badgering feels more like a unique expression of endearment. As a teenager, Peter possessed a form of wisdom that transcended time. The morning and afternoon banter, delivered from behind the wheel of the Chevy Caprice station wagon, will remain atop my favorite memories with him. I regret that I cannot thank him for being such a good friend to me. My heart aches knowing such a wonderful family is gone.
We met Peter because of Real Estate and became friends with Peter and Donna within that context, then enjoyed the girls’ exploits and Developments that Peter shared with his real estate community and family. It all seems so very unfair of course. We were so honored to know them and we all should live our dreams every day just as they did. Stacy and Ed Martin
There are certain people who bring light into every room they enter. Donna was one of those rare individuals. She had an effervescent personality, a radiant smile, and a laugh that was contagious. I worked with Donna for the last 4 years. She was my manager, mentor, and friend. No matter how busy the day or how challenging the task, she had a way of making everyone feel at ease, as if for that moment, you were the most important person in the room.
But what truly set her apart was her ability to reach beyond the work. She didn’t just ask about deadlines or deliverables; she wanted to know you—your interests, your family, what made you tick. She built real connections, ones that went beyond emails and meetings.
One of the things she spoke about most often—and with the deepest love—was her family. Though I never had the chance to meet Peter, Everly, and Alydia, I felt as though I knew them through the stories she shared every day. She would light up as she talked about life’s little moments—their triumphs, their challenges, the simple joys of being together. It was clear her girls were her world, and she and her husband were devoted to doing everything they could to help them chase their dreams, especially their passion for ice skating.
Her absence leaves a void that cannot be filled, but the impact she made on me will never fade. She was a bright light, a kind soul, and a truly special person. I was lucky to know her, and I will carry her memory with me always. My heart goes out to the Livingston and Smojice families during this most difficult time.
