Donna will also be remembered by many special nieces and nephews. For many years leading up to her passing, Mom's devotion to her children and extended family was first and foremost. She was the glue that held us together. We will always remember our endless travel adventures, rambuncscious family gatherings and partaking in their many entrepreneurial endeavours. Over many years, Donna enjoyed spending her free time driving for CNIB, cooking and travelling for the Bandettes as well as volunteering for many other non-profit organizations. She was a kind and compassionate soul who touched and brightened up all the lives lucky enough to have known her. Putting others’ needs before herself, Donna would go out of her way to help a perfect stranger. Her dedication to others was endless.
