Mike, Lindsay, and families – I’m so sorry to learn of the passing of Donna.  I’ll always remember her as my cheerful and gracious neighbour, quick with a smile and friendly greeting.  Please accept my sincere condolences.  Sue Pratt

I am in shock to learn of Donna’s passing.  I had the pleasure and privilege of working closely with her for several years.  I was the union staff representative for her workplace.  She was a decent, honourable and caring woman.  She cared deeply about her fellow workers. I don’t think those workers fully knew what a gem she was.  We both cared deeply about animals.  I met a couple of her beloved four leggeds. As a union rep, one meets many people.  Donna was one of the finest.  My heart felt condolences to Mike,Lindsay and the rest of the family.  I know I have another Angel watching over me.
RIP my friend.


Mike, our condolences to you and all your family.  It has been a very long time since we have seen you and Donna but I’ll always remember Donna’s smile.

I was saddened to learn of Donna’s passing. I worked with Donna at the Bowmanville branch of the AWCCU for years and we shared many laughs, tears, and even some secrets while in the “vault”. I will always remember how very kind she was to me during the passing of my father and the many hugs I received during some very difficult days. She truly was one-of-a-kind lady. Please accept my deepest condolences Mike, Lindsay and family. 

Condolences during this most trying time. May your memories provide you strength. 

Mike and Family 
Our sincerest condolences to you and your family during this difficult time 
Sincerely 
Eileen Dodd

Having had a few days to try and comprehend the heartbreaking news of my dear Donna Mae’s passing is still a work in progress . I can’t believe I am leaving  a tribute at this stage of life to you . Donna and I met some 30 plus years ago as employees of Auto workers Credit Union …. The term coworkers was quickly replaced with a very close and lovely friendship that would last a lifetime . Donna was one of the smartest, funniest , loving  people I feel lucky to have known . It’s so true that she could brighten your day with that super infectious laugh of hers … somethings I didn’t think were that funny  wound up being hilarious because she would start laughing and then you followed .  . I always admired her in the younger days when it was her and Lindsay … she was always superwoman and supermom wrapped up in one to give little Linds the best childhood possible . . Looking at Lindsay now and the three beautiful grandchildren … well Donna Mae you deserve a big pat on the back for a job well done .  Donna would do anything  for anybody and expect nothing in return . The word gracious is so fitting for her …. I will miss that special comfort that Donna gave me in a way very few are lucky to have .  Love Sandra Dave Robert and Bradley 



 

My deepest condolences to the Shields Family.  So sorry for your loss.

Dearest Mike and Family,

So very sorry for this greatest loss.  Donna was beautiful in every way and a true lady.  She will be mourned greatly because she was loved beyond measure. She was perfect!. A precious gem she was and all who knew her, adored her. She was remarkable.

One of my favourite memories of Aunt Tootie was when she was late for my wedding because "the sassy GPS lady took us in the wrong direction!" There was no way I was getting married without her there...I am glad we waited.

I had the pleasure of working with Donna at the AWCCU.  As the old saying goes “To know her was to love her!”  Donna had a beautiful smile and a kind heart.  It was with great sadness I learned of her passing.  May the wonderful memories of Donna bring comfort to her family and many friends.  


Mike, Lindsay and family. I was so sorry to hear of Donna's passing. I had worked with her for many years at the Auto Workers. She had the most beautiful smile and greatest laugh. She was way too young for this. I am just so heartbroken. May the great memories of your wife, mother, grandmother and friend help you through these hard times. May she rest in peace.

A piece of my heart will never be the same knowing Donna is no longer with us. Sixty may seem older to some but far too young for such a kind and loving soul to leave this earth. 

Donna was my manager at AWCCU and to this day, the best boss I have ever had. She was my friend and mentor and taught me many lessons beyond "work". Donna saw potential in me that no one else did and pushed me every day to reach for my goals. She taught  me compassion, kindness, leadership, gratitude, and self-respect. Donna was intrinsically motivated to not only do this for me, but for everyone around her. 

One day at work, I was talking about the new "Chapters" (Indigo) and how cool all of their feathery stuff was. They next day, Donna slid a bag over to me and said to hide it from the others; when I got home that night, I opened a beautiful feathered scarf. Not a lot of people in the world make you feel special and cared about like Donna did for others. I couldn't imagine being one of her most loved people on the earth like her lucky grandchildren who she smiled about ear to ear every single day. 

Donna, I will miss keeping in touch with you but I am so happy to be apart of your life. My heart goes out to all of Donna's family and friends. I won't be able to make the visitation as I'm travelling to Ireland but I will definitely be wearing my feathered scarf and be carrying a little piece of Donna with me. 

All of my love, 
Madison

Mike and Family... I am still in shock to hear of Donna's passing. Her smile would light up any room she was in. When she would smile you could not  help but smile with her. She will be missed.

So sad to hear of Donna's passing.  Left a huge lump in my throat.  We worked at Auto Workers Credit Union and I will.always remember her infection smile.  Really a breath of fresh air.  She was fun to be around.  My deepest condolences to Mike and Family.  May she R.I.P.  ❤

I am so sorry to hear about Donna's passing.  I have many fond memories of working together and sharing laughs at the Big Bike rides she organized for the Heart and Stroke foundation   She was a kind giving soul who loved Mike and her family very much.    Donna was very kind with me when I lost my Tony four and a half years ago, keeping in touch and checking to see how I was.  I am sending love to you all at this very difficult  time. ❤️
