FITZPATRICK, Donna Louise (Whitaker) - It is with deep sadness that we share the news of Donna’s sudden passing on January 30, 2021 in Toronto, Ontario.
She was born in Montreal on August 26, 1953.
First among the many who mourn her passing, Donna leaves behind her husband and partner in all things, Declan. Since 1978 these two shared their love and lives with family and friends in Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia and England.
Donna will be dearly missed by many including her sister, Linda Manwarren (Steve), brothers Ken and Brian, Stephanie(niece), Justin (nephew) and the entire Fitzpatrick clan especially Nickie and Brian.
She was predeceased by her father, Sydney (1979) and her mother, Violet (2008).
Donna grew up in Montreal and began her working career in administrative support. Donna and Declan relocated to Toronto in 1981 where she eventually worked as an Office Assistant with the TDSB. Her caring and loving nature found particular joy interacting with special needs students.
Donna was generous in spirit and caring of others, family and friends alike. We toast her with a glass of good red wine. She is missed deeply, will always live in our hearts and minds and will be remembered as a kind and loving person by many.
Cremation has taken place and COVID dictates we postpone any celebration of her life. We hope to have a gathering of family and close friends, when permitted, where we can share hugs, memories and love for she dearly loved pulling people together.
In lieu of flowers, if desired, memorial donations may be sent to Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital 150 Kilgour Road, Toronto, ON M4G 1R8 or through their website at www.hollandbloorview.ca.
