Kelly & Jim, Kerry & Scott, Paul & Brigette and families.
We will miss your Mom as we miss your Dad. They were both so kind to John and me. John fondly remembers the trips to the ski hill on Saturday mornings. I remember the encouragement as a new teacher and many trips to the cottage with our kids!! Your mom had such an open heart and her love had actions attached. I know you will all miss her terribly. But, know that you are not alone! Love, Heather and John. XO

I remember your Mom so well and all the good times we had together. You can be so proud of both your Mom and your Dad. Living and teaching in Hanover, we shared both work and social experiences. And then there are the kids. Such stories come to mind. Memories will always endure. Cherish them. Pat Golem

Dear Kelly, Kerry, and Paul,
Jenny and I send you and your entire family our heart-felt condolences. So many memories. . . Donna sent us a Christmas letter ever since time out of mind. Always a wonderful collage of family pictures on one side, complete with marginal notes, and an annual letter on the other side about family doings and family highlights (pretty clear what was important to her). She always concluded with a personal note to us. Oh my. Donna and I taught English together for pushing on toward thirty years. We were close neighbours at JDSS; leave my classroom, turn left, take a quick right, go down the hall to the second room, and Donna would be there with a smile and welcome advice. When I first came on staff, Donna was my mentor. I could always count on her for help, which as a green teacher I sorely needed. It’s hard to accept that she’s gone.
All the Very Best Wishes,
Bruce and Jenny I.

The Duncan family wishes to extend our sincere condolences to Donna’s family on the passing of this special lady. Donna was a warm and caring teacher who will always be remembered for her approachable, engaging personality and for her kindness. My siblings and I have fond memories of being in her class at JDSS many years ago. My dad Wayne taught with Donna for several years, and he always had great respect for her. They shared many laughs! My mom Betty first met Donna when she did some home schooling support for Kelly (perhaps related to a broken leg?!). My mom says that you never saw Donna without a smile on her face. Sending our heartfelt sympathy to you all. Sincerely, Gwen and Betty Duncan (on behalf of the Duncan family)

Dear Paul, Bridget, Lexie and Calum,
I am truly so sad to hear about your cherished mother and grandmother - what an incredible obituary of a life so well lived! What a legacy your dear mum/gramma leaves behind. No matter how long we have them for, it is quite simply never long enough. May she rest in peace now with God and his angels and your dear dad, always looking over you all.
My very deepest condolences,
Caroline O'Keeffe

To all of Donna's family:
Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of a wonderful lady. I wish that I had been able to visit with her this summer when I thought she was up but due to other commitments wasn't able to do so. I am sorry that I will not be able to attend the funeral but please know that I will be with you in spirit and will remember you in my prayers

Lots of love from me and George to your family. There is so much to celebrate about your mother. We hope to see you on Friday but it all depends on the weather and my recently sprained ankle. I hope I keep finding you at the ski hill from time to time.
Love, Susan Magwood

Donna certainly lived life well, spreading fun and joy everywhere she went. I was fortunate to share the English workroom with her during my year of teaching with her at JDSS. Later, we became even closer friends on the ski hill, at Blue Mountain, Mont Ste Anne, and during that wonderful trip to the Alps in 2003.
Donna had a big heart and embraced every one she met. I remember watching her stop to help a child at Mont Ste Anne. She was going to have to climb a small slope after she got him on his feet. Kerry and I were watching after having used our momentum to get up that slope. Kerry said, “We are all going to heaven on Mom’s coat tails.” It was always fun to ski with her and be with her.
Whoever wrote the obituary did a fabulous job of including so much of Donna’s energy, accomplishments and many interests.
I am so grateful for Donna’s friendship over so many years. I will miss her Christmas letters!
