Donna Marie Colvine

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Donna on Friday, November 13 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. She was a loving daughter, wife, mother, grandmother and her husband, Ian’s, best friend for 52 years. Donna is survived by her husband Ian, children Ilene (Scott) Janis, Adam Colvine (Cindy Dolan), grandchildren Anna and Sarah Janis. She was predeceased by her parents Clifford and Marie Quesnell and her sister Betty Klassen. Donna is also survived by sisters Linda Beeler, Judy Quesnell, Rita Miller, sister-in-law Dawn Colvine Woo (Ken), and many nieces and nephews.

Donna was a quiet and private person but well respected and loved by those who knew her. Family was her whole world, as she was to her family. She was born and raised in Saskatoon. She met Ian at her first job at Social Services where they quickly fell in love and married. They built everything around their kids and grew together. Donna loved time with her granddaughters, and they even relocated to Cochrane for a while to be close to them. They ended back in Saskatoon, which was always home, to be close to Adam, Cindy and Judy. Her last year was a tough battle, and she fought so hard until the end. Her pain is gone, our hearts are broken, but we were granted a life touched by her. We will miss you so much.

As per her request, there will be no funeral service. Cremation services handled by Mourning Glory and her wishes were for her family to celebrate her together on a beach in Hawaii.
