It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Donna Jean Heinig, after a lengthy battle with pancreatic cancer.
Peacefully, and surrounded by her family, Donna passed away on Sunday, September 6, 2020, at the age of 78 years.
Donna will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Earl, of nearly 50 years.
She was treasured by her children, Julie (Greg) and Chris, and grandchildren, Ryan and Crysta.
She was predeceased by her parents, Frank and Jean Mann, and her brother Frank (June).
Donna grew up in the Beaches area on the southeast side of Toronto, which has always held a special place in her heart. She married Earl on September 26, 1970, and they later settled in Newmarket, ON.
