DAWNNA DONISON March 27, 1954 - September 19, 2015 In loving memory of Dawnna Donison who passed away on Saturday, September 19, 2015, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Dawnna had been ill for some time and maintained high spirits, good humour and fortitude throughout the last year of health challenges. The joy of Dawnna's life was her daughter, Tereyn Stephen; son-in-law Andrew; and her grandchildren, Karissa and Shyne. She is also lovingly remembered by her brother, Wayne Donison (Leah) and sister, Cheryl Donison (Andrea); her nephews Chris and Neil; and extended family. Dawnna was predeceased by her father, Toma Donison and mother, Emelia (Vicki) Donison. Dawnna was a registered nurse and worked for the Government of Manitoba for 30 years, first as a nurse in a long-term care facility, then for Manitoba's Family Services. A special thank you to E.J. Coutu and Co. Funeral Directors who handled Dawnna's final arrangements with dignity and care. Donations can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association and the Kidney Foundation of Canada, in her memory.

  • I met Dawnna when she was a student in the Psychiatric Nursing Program at Manitoba Developmental Centre, Portage la Prairie MB. I was able to be with her for the the birth of Tereyn. With my family we were able to continue as adopted grandparents etc and continued to see Tereyn, celebrating her Birthdays and Graduation from High School. I was proud of Dawnna and her determination to be a good mum to Tereyn. She will be missed - Posted by: Fay Malabar (Longtime friend) on: Oct 10, 2015
