This beautiful, intelligent, and genuine woman became an angel on July 14th 2012 due to cancer. Her life was filled with love, laughter, family, friends, success, hard work, accomplishments, gardening, and the odd game of golf. She was and will remain the rock of our family. Gone too soon; her absence will cause heartache. But it’s because of the heartache that we know she played such a significant role in our lives. She will live on through the lives of her devoted husband Kevin Wood; her proud son Thomas Wood (Tara Antonsen-Wood, grand-daughter Olivia Wood); and her beautiful daughter Natalie Wood. Donna’s three sisters Jamaine (Wally), Jackie (Don), and Betty (Randy) will be deeply missing their amazing sister. Donna had many friends, some since high school, some since university. Her genuine yet practical and kind nature was hard to resist. She led a very accomplished career, starting out as a social worker in Calgary, then moving up to one of her favourite careers as CEO of the Michener Centre in Red Deer. Her colleagues and friends in the Employment and Immigration Division in Red Deer immensely enjoyed her leadership and friendship. Her hard work and dedication stretched far across Alberta. This woman was truly amazing in all aspects of her life. For anyone who knew Donna and shared in friendship, you are welcome to celebrate her life at the Michener Centre in Red Deer, Alberta, on Monday, July 23rd at 2 p.m. Donations in Donna's memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. Arrangements entrusted to Hansons' Arbor Funeral Chapels & Crematorium. Messages of condolence may be sent to the family by visiting www.hansonsfuneral.com
