Donna Thiry passed away peacefully at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary on February 20, 2024 at the age of 72 years. Donna was born and raised in Oak Lake, Manitoba and moved to Calgary for work in 1971.
She worked in the offices of Atlantic Richfield and Petro Canada for many years until her retirement in 2010. Donna had a great love of house plants and gardening. Her lovely yard kept her busy during the summer months while her indoor plants brought her much joy year-round. She truly had a green thumb and wasn’t afraid to try to grow even the most challenging plants.
Donna was predeceased by her husband Jim Tedley and her parents Ed and Mildred (Pleckham) Thiry. She will be greatly missed by her brothers Gene, Merlin (Carol), Grant (Dorothy) and her sister Shirley (Ken) as well as many nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held later when the family can all be together.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Donna’s memory to the Heart & Stroke Foundation at https://www.heartandstroke.ca or a charity of your choice.
