After a very quick battle with cancer, Donna passed peacefully with the support of her son James(Jim), her brother Wayne and sister Madeline in Brampton, Ontario on Monday December 21st, 2020. Beloved wife of the late James Edward Yorke. Beloved mother to Kimberley, James (Amanda) and the late Nancy Yorke. Beloved daughter of the late Florella Weare and the late Wilson Corkum. Donna was an amazing Nanny to Justin (Dominique) Toope-Yorke, Caitlyn Toope-Yorke, Liam Toope-Yorke, Sierra, James and Stella Yorke. Born in Caledonia, Nova Scotia on May 30th, 1947. Donna was the eldest of 14 and the matriarch of her family. Donna will be greatly missed by all of her family, friends and neighbors. We take comfort in knowing that this Christmas she is being reunited with her mother, husband and daughter and enjoying Christmas together again.
