Obituary
Donalda Deane Hallberg
It is with overwhelming sadness that the family of Donalda Deane Hallberg announce her passing. Donalda passed away peacefully at home at the age of 91. She is survived by her children, Jane (Ron), Jodi (Ray), Jeff (Fiona), and Greg. Donalda was a loving grandma to seven grandchildren, Bryce (Tracy), Jill (Steve), Karen (Andy), Drew, Haley (Bill), Jacob, and Erin and ten great grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother Bill (Marilyn), sister Carole (Ray), sister-in-law Iva Fraser, and sister-in-law Mary Hallberg. She is predeceased by her husband Lawrie, brother Douglas, sister Annafred and brother-in-law Jack Bell.
Donalda was a Registered Nurse for over forty years. She took her nursing education at the University of Alberta and began her career at the University Hospital in Edmonton. She retired from nursing from the Nanaimo Regional Hospital as a nursing supervisor after a dozen years.
Donalda was an avid gardener and ardent walker. In her earlier years she enjoyed sewing and knitting. She was a talented artist creating in acrylics and watercolors. In her retirement years, she travelled with her husband around Vancouver Island cruising the Gulf Islands and Desolation Sound in their boat. They had the time of their lives on these adventures, often sharing adventures with good friends and fellow boaters, Digby and Brenda.
Donalda was an exceptionally gracious lady. She was always positive, kind, caring and giving. She was a friend to all that knew her, and her passing is an immeasurable loss to those that loved her. She was a true friend to everyone that met her and a dedicated and beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother (Gigi). She was much loved and will be forever missed.
There will be no service at this time. A Celebration of Life will be planned when we can gather safely.
In lieu of flowers we ask that you help support the Canadian Cancer Society.
