Donna’s life was
devoted to the care of children. She was a Foster Parent to over 60
young children. She served in various capacities with the Prince
Edward Island Federation of Foster Families and, with her involvement,
brought many improvements to the Foster Care system on P.E.I. An
ardent gardener, she served as an advisor and mentor to many friends
and relatives. Donna struggled through a 6½ year battle
with GIST cancer, never wavering in her hope that she would see
another season and get back outdoors. She made a
difference.
