Donna Innocente

Passed peacefully with her son and daughter at her side within the care and support of the Chapman House Hospice on April 5, 2023.  Donna was born on April 19, 1963.  Daughter to the late Patricia Johnson and William Thomas.  Sister to Cindy (Gary) Loyst and Patricia Craig.  Her absolute pride and joy were her children and grandchildren, Robert Beech and his wife Pamala and their sons Nathan and Payton and Robin Lawton and her husband Kurt and their daughters Madelynn, Cordelia and Tessa.  She always held dear to her heart and loved so very much her nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. She will be remembered by Cody, Trystan, Keagan, Harmony and Skylar and her longtime friend Erin Lilly.

Donna was always a hard-working woman, she was fiercely independent and loved hard too.  She had a passion for animals, long walks, the beach and motorcycles.  She was artistic, she shared many talents. She loved new experiences and trips.  She made many friends in different areas of her life.  It can be said with certainty she would leave a lasting impression with anyone who had met her.  She had a love for loud music and long drives and sitting peacefully in the sun.  She loved being a support person for the ones she loved, deep rooted conversations and being able to help where she could.  We ask that you take the time in her honour to hug those you care about and tell them you love them every chance you get, for tomorrow is not promised. Time waits for no one.

When tomorrow starts without me,
And I’m not there to see;
If the sun should rise
and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I’m right here, in your heart.
