Donna Marlene Richard
July 18, 1948 – October 13, 2024

Donna Marlene Richard, born on July 18, 1948, in Toronto, peacefully passed away at Brockville General Hospital with her family by her side on Sunday, October 13, 2024, at the age of 76. Donna is survived by her husband and best friend of 53 years, Jerry Richard, her son Michael (Crystal), and her cherished grandchildren Dayan, Kiernan, Alex, and Brody. She will also be missed by her beloved grandpuppies, Ellie and Tango, whom she asked about every day.

Donna is also survived by her brother John-David (Kathy), and sisters Lynda (John) and Beverly (Glen). She was a dear aunt to Sonja, Shawn, Tammie, Terri, Tracy, Brandy, and Shari. Donna’s passing is mourned by her extended family and friends from the Whitby-Oshawa area and her new community in Gananoque.

Donna was loved by everyone who met her, known for her beautiful soul and massive heart. She was always willing to help those around her. Her love for her family and animals was evident to all who knew her, but she was never happier than when she became a grandmother. After living most of her life in Whitby, Donna and Jerry moved to Gananoque in 2015 to be closer to their son and grandchildren, where she resided until her passing.

Donna’s family extends their heartfelt thanks to the extended family and friends for their love and support during this difficult time.

Visitation will be held at Tompkins Funeral Home in Gananoque on Friday, October 25, 2024, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. A Celebration of Life will take place at the Gananoque Legion on Sunday, October 27, 2024, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Expressions of sympathy and donations to Brockville General Hospital would be greatly appreciated by the family.
