DONALD ROBERT LAST Donnie Last passed away on Sunday, November 19, 2017 at Rosewood Lodge, Stonewall after struggling with complications from Parkinsons. "Uncle" Donnie was born on December 15, 1930 to Phillip and Gertrude Last (Good). He was born and raised on the family farm north of Argyle along with his sister and brother. Later in life, Donnie moved to Lion's Manor in Stonewall but continued to farm with Elbourne and Murray until he was 82. Leisure time was filled with lots of curling, which he loved. He also loved to golf at Inwood with his buddies. After the passing of his siblings and their spouses, (Bill and Ethel Buchanan, Elbourne and Jean Last), Donnie continued to be surrounded by his nieces and nephews, joining in all the family gatherings in his quiet way. Uncle Donnie was always a very special guest. Donnie is survived by seven nieces and nephews. Brenda (Brian) Morash, Janice (Cliff) Harrison, Bruce (Gwen) Buchanan, Sheila (Ken) Cooper, Leona (Blaine) Nichol, Donna (Walt) Stewart and Murray (Beth) Last, as well as his special friend Lil. Uncle Donnie had requested there be no service. Anyone wishing to make a donation in his memory, may do so to Parkinsons Foundation, 200 Woodlawn Street, Winnipeg, MB, R3J 3H7 or a charity of their choice. Thank you to Dr. Kerr Graham, the Stonewall Hospital, Betel Foundation PCH, and Rosewood Lodge. Ken Loehmer Funeral Services in care of arrangements. 204-886-0404
