Donna had a perpetual spark of sunshine to everyone she met. She always saw the best in everyone and brighten the lives of others. Her pleasant personality was contagious. She made it a point to spread kindness wherever she went and her special touches made the most ordinary times seem extraordinary.She was an inspiring soul who was affectionate, caring, loving, honest and kind. She loved life!
Her love and affection for her husband was endless. She enjoyed their time riding on the motorcycle across Nova Scotia, PEI and United States. They both had a great passion of travelling to Arizona, Mexico and cruises to the Caribbean Islands. The most remarkable vacation was their trip to Cuba where they both exchanged their beautiful wedding vows. .It brought great joy to Donna sitting on their dock, listening to music with a glass of wine in hand enjoying their time together with sweet Ruby .Memories to last forever.
Donna loved Chrissy and Brian unconditionally along with their families. She cherished every moment with them. She was over the moon when her grandchildren Lexie, Abby and AJ were at her house baking with her, doing cartwheels in the backyard or diving off the dock. She was delighted when Jamisen was able to travel to Nova Scotia to spend time with her. Donna’s grandchildren were her life.
Her love for all of her friends were unbreakable. She loved each and everyone like family.Donna thrived and treasured when everyone was together for a gathering..with great food, music and dancing. She was a friend that would respect you, encourage you, stand by you and love you forever.

I haven’t seen Donna in years but grew up with her son Brian. I haven’t seen Brian in quite a few years either but remember the family well. My condolences to you all especially Brian and Christine.
