CHAPMAN, Donna Louise (nee MATHESON) - With much sadness we announce the passing of our Mother Donna (born January 26, 1940) on July 31, 2021, at the age of 81.
A teacher, loyal friend and wife, and a wonderfully devoted mother, she lived a rich and colourful life.
Donna was born to parents Robert Matheson and Helen (England) in Edmunston, NB.
Settling in Toronto with her Mother, sister Joan and brother Bobby, she attended Northern Secondary and Lawrence Park Collegiate, where, as cheerleader, she met the love of her life Allan (predeceased 2017).
They had a wonderful marriage for more than 55 years.
Donna was always ready for what life threw at her, whether dinner for 10 with only a few hours notice, or helping a friend in need of rescue.
She tackled every challenge with gusto.
Donna, together with Allan, created a home for their three children that was warm and welcoming and filled with laughter and love.
Donna is survived by son Mark (Mari) and her daughters Stacey (Anthony) and Alyson, as well as six grandchildren: Anders, Mats, Tomas, Katie, Peirce and Charlie.
In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to Sunnybrook Hospital Foundation.
