Donnie Corker, better known as Dirtwoman, (December 7, 1951 – September 26, 2017) was an American cross-dresser living in Richmond, Virginia known for involvement in Richmond politics, arts, music, and food banks. Corker additionally sold "Dirt-grams" during the holidays where he personally delivered messages and greetings. Also well known as the human floral arrangement of the annual Hamaganza holiday rock n roll charity benefit show that for 20 years had paired Dirtwoman with a revolving cast of Richmond politicians, luminaries and journalists. He died in his sleep at age 65 on September 26, 2017, falling short of his stated goal to "die at 90, onstage".
