To the Family of Mrs. Donna,
We were deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Mrs. Donna. Although we never had the opportunity to meet her, we have come to appreciate her presence through the home we now call ours.
We consider ourselves fortunate to have inherited her extensive library, filled with a remarkable collection of books on world history and various other subjects. As we've spent time reading and exploring these books, we have felt a connection to her passion for knowledge and the world around her.
While reading through one of the books, we stumbled upon a hostel card tucked inside, revealing a part of Mrs. Donna's younger years and her adventurous spirit. It was clear that she was a well-traveled individual with a thirst for understanding the world. This small discovery was a touching reminder of the vibrant life she led.
Please know that her memory lives on in the home she created and in the stories she collected along the way. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time, and we are honored to share a piece of her legacy.
With heartfelt condolences,
Amita and Ankit

Katherine, This is to honour your mother. Sounds like she expanded her wings to think of the world as her home through her travels, your Dad, the journalist, and her teaching. I am sorry for your loss. Sending you comfort and hugs Lynda

Donna and Fritz camped with my family and hosted us for dinners at their home in Waterloo. Donna was a wonderful mother. So patient and kind and loving. I went on to have 4 children of my own and thought often of her role model in caring for our children, camping, hiking and enrolling our children in Scouts and Guides. Donna was a wonderful influence and inspiration to myself and my sister Carolyn. My condolences to all her family. - Heather Situm nee Burns

The Roos family was a cornerstone of our street, she and Frits and children being long-time residents. We looked forward to chatting with her and seeing her out for daily walks. She knew all the neighbours, and participated in street BBQs. Donna always updated us on family, and with the regular visits of her family, we came to be good friends with them too. She told us stories of her European travels and her extended family, and proudly gave us chocolates from her home town in New Brunswick. Whenever Frits or Donna needed help on the house, Malcolm was quick to answer their request. We were sorry to see Donna move off the street, but happily she moved closer to family in Barrie and kept in touch by writing back and forth.
Very sincere condolences.
Linda & Malcolm

Donna and Frits were our oldest friends during our years in Waterloo and later in retirement in Toronto. For many years we celebrated New Year’s Eves together. Donna was so attentive at remembering birthdays and quick to call with special wishes. I’ll also miss the annual Roos Christmas family letters with photos. I have great memories of visiting them in Portugal when we spent a month there. Frits’s bargaining skills in the Portuguese markets still amaze. A merchant running after Frits begging him to buy a beautiful leather belt for a few euros was a sight to behold. They loved travelling and experiencing other cultures. May they now continue together on their journey. My condolences Katherine, Patricia, Harriet, Rick, Chris and families in the loss of your mom, grandmother, friend, mentor and organizer extraordinaire.

Will and I were deeply saddened by the news of Donna’s passing and extend our heartfelt condolences to the entire Roos family. We had the pleasure of living next door to your parents in Waterloo and your Mother always shared family stories and tales of the family travels with us. Donna was extremely proud of the accomplishments of her family, especially her children and grandchildren. She continued to update us even after we moved away. Donna was an exceptional woman and she always lived life to the fullest.
We hope you will find some comfort as you gather with family and friends sharing memories of Donna’s life experiences.
Will Robertson and Beth Feor, Wasaga Beach
