Obituary of Donna Mae Richardson
Comforted by her family and her faith, Donna passed away in Nanaimo, BC after a four-year battle with cancer.
Donna leaves behind a grieving family: her husband, John Duncan, parents Austin & Ruby Richardson (nee Pinkham), sister Paula Moyer (Rob), brothers Kevin (Leanne) and Ron, nieces Emily and Rebekah, nephews Nathan, Ken, Austin Jr. and Ryan, and so many friends.
Donna loved music and the Church, and drew great strength from her relationship with God. She dreamed of missionary work as a child and spent two years in Africa with the Pentecostal Assembly of Canada in fulfillment of that dream. She was also a cherished member of the Conservative family for many years.
Donna was a truly beautiful person inside and out, and always carried herself with elegance and grace. She touched so many lives with her kindness, her strength, her sense of humour, and her generosity. She loved people, puppies, purple and shoes. People felt lucky to know her, and she felt the same way about them.
