Kelly, Marsha, Wes and the immediate family – Words cannot express the shock of this news. I hope Donna did not suffer. Our sincere condolences to you all. I worked with Donna for over 25 years at McCormick. She was a great co-worker, always very “chipper” and would make you laugh. I really loved my good friend, Donna. May she rest in peace now with her loving husband, Bruce.
Due to an upcoming trip to Scotland we cannot attend the visitation or the memorial service but we have made a donation to the Kidney Foundation in her name. Kelly or Marsha – can you please contact me at (519) 659-2621 or jbculver00@outlook.com. Thanks.

To Parnall and Blane Families. We are so saddened to hear of Donna’a passing. She was a fun person to be around. Her and Bruce were a great couple. Rest in peace.
Val and Bill
So very sorry to hear that a bright light in your family has dimmed. She was such a warm person who enjoyed life to the fullest with her soul mate Bruce. Bill and I have special memories of our camping days at ball tournaments with them. We were camping the day that either Kelly or Marsha was born. I believe it was June 16. Another very special memory was singing carols from a hay wagon at Christmas.
We always had a great time with them. Bruce and Donna were family in our youth. They were crazy about their grandchildren who we only met once when Bruce passed away. They are a testament to you both and you will carry on in their memories and all the things you taught them. R.I.P. my friend.♥️
