Donna was born in Woodstock, Ontario but spent most of her life in Alberta where she worked and retired form the Red Deer Advocate. Her greatest moments in her life were when she was bowling, camping with her family and traveling around Canada.

Donna will be lovingly remembered by her daughter Darlene Coates of Red Deer and her daughter Chelsea; her son Mark (Shelley) of Red Deer and their children, Riley and Madison and two sisters. She was predeceased by her husband Ralph.

In following with Donna’s wishes, a private family celebration of her life will be held. Condolences to Donna’s family may be emailed to meaningful@telus.net.
