Tobin, Donna Darlene – 76, Bass River, passed away peacefully at home in Bass River surrounded by her family on Saturday, April 6, 2019. She was born on December 18, 1942, the daughter of the late Ray and Verna Sobey in Summerside, PEI. She resided with her husband, Fred and their children in Bedeque, PEI for many years.

In 1991, Fred bought his own fishing gear and became the sole support for their family and Donna retired.
