October 23 2024 résidant dans la province Saskatchewan pour le détail des funérailles.
Donna Gail Newman (née Dreger), late of Regina, SK, passed away peacefully on October 23, 2024, at the age of 78, after a struggle with cancer. She was predeceased by her parents Daniel and Helen Dreger and brother James Dreger. She is survived by her children Dwight and David Newman (and their father, Kenneth) and by many cousins and other relatives.
Donna was born in Regina and raised on a farm in the Lang area during summers and in Regina during the winters. She went on to complete a Bachelor of Science in Home Economics at the University of Saskatchewan and a Bachelor of Education at the University of Regina. She taught for periods at Thom, Campbell, and Valleyview. She also worked in Moose Jaw as a Citizen Advocate for people with disabilities.
Over the years Donna did work for a number of organizations promoting Saskatchewan agricultural products, undertaking a range of creative projects that included a wheat germ toy for the Saskatchewan Wheat Growers, a bodysuit highlighting different cuts of beef for the Beef Information Centre, and slogans promoting Saskatchewan chicken for the Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan. She served a number of years as a volunteer Board member for the Farm Progress Show.
Donna was a homemaker and mother. For a period, she dedicated much of her energy to raising her younger child in the face of challenges he faced from severe autism. Her elder child went on to become a lawyer and professor.
During her marriage, Donna participated in business endeavours, helping to design and market apartments and offices in buildings under renovation in transitional neighbourhoods. In her business endeavours, she also published a series of health resource marketing booklets.
A favourite trip was to Rome, which she enjoyed for both history and fashion. Among her hobbies, Donna enjoyed designing and sewing clothing (especially parkas for our cold winters), refinishing furniture, listening to the symphony, riding her bicycle to visit neighbours, reading textbooks, reading other books at the University Women’s Book Club, Bible study, and painting prairie landscapes and exotic animals.
The Funeral Service will take place at Speers Funeral Chapel, 2136 College Ave., Regina, SK, on Saturday, November 2, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. Reception to follow.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Donna to the Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan (Allan Blair Cancer Centre or other as donor sees fit), Wascana Rehabilitation Centre, the Canadian Mental Health Association, Luther College, or another charity of choice.
