MAAS, Donna Ellen –
Peacefully at Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital, Picton on Monday, July 25, 2022, Donna Ellen Maas (nee Day) of Picton died at 91 years of age.

Ever a dynamic force, she made her presence known in this and any community she joined and fought fiercely for causes in which she believed.
A friend to many, she will be sorely missed. Donna is resting at the Rushnell Funeral Home – Picton Chapel, 33 Main Street (613476-2450). A Memorial Service will be held at a future date. Inurnment at Glenwood Cemetery. Online condolences at: www.rushnellfamilyservices.com
