Donna was born on November 26th, 1935 in Galt, Ontario. Her family moved out to BC when she was just a young girl.

Donna is survived by her brother Ross, and wife, Joyce Patterson; daughter Darlene and husband Dan Shandola; son Bob and wife Susan Sellan; and grandchildren Ian and Kyle Halliday, Austin Sellan, Adam and Kaitlin Spooner and great grandchildren Gage, Kaydin, Madison, Norah, Reeve and Camdyn and many nieces and nephews.

Donna was predeceased by her parents Vance and Isabelle Patterson, husband of 49 years Rino Sellan and daughter Brenda Halliday (nee Sellan), brother Ken Patterson and sister Irma Howe and great grandson Callen Spooner.

Donna was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend to all those that knew her. Donna worked for many years at the Daily Bulletin and then at the Kimberley Golf Course and Elks Club. She was always willing to jump in and lend a hand or take over a project. Once retired, she was a volunteer for many years at the local Thrift Shop. Donna was a keen golfer and participated in the Ladies League at the Kimberley Golf Course for many years. She also loved spending time in her garden, caring for her flowers. Donna was an avid (and competitive) card player and was always up for crib games with her friends and family members. As well, she loved helping out at the Garden View bingo afternoons.

The family would like to thank her medical support team at Interior Health Kimberley and the staff and support team at Garden View Village for the care and compassion they gave her over the years.

There will be no Memorial Service. In lieu of flowers please make a contribution in her name to Angel Flights East Kootenay or another charity of your choice.
