GREEN, Donna (LYNCH) Green, Obituary

GREEN, Donna (nee LYNCH)  – July 1, 1942 – December 31, 2015

Our smart, beautifully complex mother has passed away with all the drama she could muster.

She did not go quietly into that good night; she fought to stay with us. Donna was well and truly loved; a fact that always seemed to surprise her.

She will be missed by Brian, her devoted husband of 35 years who was by her side as she faced this epic journey with trepidation, humour and grace; her lovely crew of cheerleaders, sisters Nancy and Sue, sisters-in-law Betty, Pam and Elvira; the ragamuffins, children Steven (Andrea), Julie-Anne (Brian), Tom (Marilyn) and Paul; the 7 absolutely perfect grandchildren Jessica (Dan), Eric, Liam, Connor, Jack, Ethan and Ms. Sophia; the prodigal children, cleverly disguised as exceptionally good-looking nieces and nephews; her cousins, friends and neighbours; and her beloved Jean (Ernie).

Our sincere thanks to the outstanding oncology teams at Joseph Brant Hospital and the Juravinski Cancer Centre, to Dr. Arshat and his associates for their gentle, unwavering support and to the compassionate nurses and volunteers at the Carpenter Hospice for helping her nail the landing.

As per Donna’s wishes, cremation has taken place.

Service will be held in Burlington, on Saturday, January 9th.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Carpenter Hospice, Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation (Cancer Clinic) or the Juravinski Cancer Centre would be greatly appreciated.

“though she be but little, she is fierce”
