She passed from this world, having fought IPF lung disease as a true Champion. Donna Schooley Culver was the love of David’s life, his soul mate and his rock. They met in 2005 and were married in Port Canaveral on August 27 th 2011.
Donna and Dave took 6 cruises and thoroughly enjoyed travelling. They especially loved their time in Oklahoma at the lake, where the family always gathered. Donna was predeceased by her mother Elma Esther Hunter and her father Donald Leland Schooley. She will be tremendously missed by her Oklahoma friends and family. Also devastated by this loss are her beloved brother Kent Schooley and sister in law Jennifer Schooley and her devoted Son Christian and his wife Amber, as well as step children Andrea Culver, Charlene Culver, and Shawn Culver. She will be forever missed by her grandchildren Sebastian Michaels and Tidus Michaels. Bereaved step – grandchildren Bobby, Emma, Ava, Taliyah, Kai, and great-grandchild Vala – remembered Donna as fun, full of laughter and “ the biggest heart ever.”
Immediately after getting her Canadian Citizenship, Donna worked in the chiropractic field, for which her schooling had prepared her. She excelled at her job and was soon promoted to Office Manager, looking after three other employees. Since 2008 , when Dave and Donna moved into their vintage home ( built 1909 ), she has been overjoyed by – and proud of – what they built together. They tackled every task with a smile, including building their custom kitchen. Donna loved the Galt neighbours – who adored her in
return – and she created a home of warmth and welcome.
Once you met Donna, you knew that you had a friend for life: she was a soft-hearted person who was willing to help anyone in need. She had some quirky ways about things and never threw things away. And she loved shopping at thrift store for those special finds.
A Celebration of Life will take Place at the Galt Legion, 4 Veterans Way in Cambridge, Sunday May 31st from 2-4 pm.
She has left suffering behind, will be forever missed and always remembered as a one of a kind lady to her husband Dave:
Breath easy, my love…Say hi to mama for me, and I will see you on the other side
