I had the privilege of working with Donna. She was an awesome co-worker. She had a great work ethic. I enjoyed sharing many laughs with her. We shared a mutual interest in sports, especially the Olympics. I will always think of her when I watch the Olympics. I will miss you Donna!

I'm so incredibly sorry to hear of Donna's passing. I worked with Donna at the Heart & Stroke. She was a great co-worker and even better employee; we had lots of good laughs. I haven't seen her a lot since she left HSF but we always looked forward to our lunch catch-ups! She was an incredible woman with such a wonderful positive attitude. I will so miss her. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. - Posted by: Donna Murray (Friend) on: Apr 25, 2015
