Donna was born and raised in St. Catharines. After retiring from her position of Furniture Manager at Staples, she enjoyed making memories with her seven precious grandchildren. “Mom, you fought the brave fight with every fibre of your being. You never complained and never gave up hope. We will miss you, especially your sarcastic sense of humour and the passionate way you danced to rock n’ roll. We will miss how much you loved sweets and the charming way you poured salt on practically everything. But most of all Mom, we will miss your kind and beautiful spirit, your smile and the way you loved us all. You will forever be our hero.”
Gratitude goes to the Walker Family Cancer Centre, her Oncologist Dr. Cameron Phillips, Colleen Bredin RNP and the entire Palliative Care Team.
