Donna passed away peacefully in the Redvers Health Centre on Friday, January 8th at the age of 58 years.
Donna was the third child of Glenn and Eileen Brown in a family of six. Requiring special care, Donna spent some years in the Valley View Centre in Moose Jaw before happily settling in a group home in Redvers.
Donna is lovingly remembered by her mother Eileen Brown; 3 brothers, Randy Brown, Wayne (Kathy) Brown and Allan (Anita) Brown; 2 sisters, Karen (Perry) Kocis and Jane (Ken) Cutler; nieces, Carly (Khodi Dill) Brown, Kristen (Josh) Johnson, Shawna Brown, Stephanie (Ryley) Trenchuk, Deanne (Tyler) Harris and Alyssa Brown; nephews, David (Megan) Brown, Dustin Brown, Tannor Kocis, Brett Kocis, and Ryan Kocis.Donna is also remembered by Marsha, staff and friends at the Redvers Activity Centre as they were all a part of her family.Donna is predeceased by her father Glenn Brown.
Although Donna was unable to speak, she could always find ways to make her wishes known and she clearly communicated her likes and dislikes. Donna did master one word – “Mom” – whom she loved more than anything in this world!
Donna had a beautiful spirit and she loved to be the center of attention! She always had a smile on her face and loved to laugh. Nothing could make her laugh harder than being mercilessly teased by her siblings, especially her brothers.
Going out for lunch, getting her hair and nails done, shopping for new clothes, wearing jewelry, and listening to music were a few of Donna’s favorite pastimes. But most of all, Donna loved people and she found a wonderful network of friends in the community of Redvers where she resided for the past 26 years.
We witnessed first-hand the caring and love she received from care-givers in her group homes and the Redvers Activity Centre. Donna truly enjoyed the many daily activities that the centre provided and the numerous outings. As Donna’s health deteriorated, she was moved to the Redvers Health Centre in palliative care. Once again, the level of support and care provided by the Health Centre staff was amazing.
Donna left this world peacefully with loving caregivers by her side.
She has shed the constraints that she lived with in this world and is now free to soar. We will miss Donna’s infectious laughter, her innocence and enduring spirit.
Special thanks to the Redvers Group Home, Redvers Activity Centre, and Redvers Health Centre, along with Dr. Prahbu, for their loving care, support, and understanding.
