Donna grew up on the family farm in Fox Valley, as the second youngest daughter in a large family of four brothers and three sisters. After graduating from high school, she moved to Calgary and began to raise her family and launched her career in education. After several years working in Calgary, Don and Donna, moved to Grimshaw, AB. and continued their careers as educators. They eventually relocated and settled in Fort Macleod. Donna and Don spent numerous summers at their condo in Sandpoint, Idaho and took great pleasure boating and socializing with family and friends.
The family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks to the medical staff at the Fort Macleod hospital for their wonderful care and compassion.
