DONNA LYNN STILKOWSKI A beautiful, precious life left this earth on Wednesday, April 30, 2008. Our dearly loved sister, auntie and friend passed away peacefully at Health Sciences Centre with her family by her side. Donna was born in Winnipeg on July 21, 1952, and although she had to overcome many challenges with her diagnosed illness, Sturge Webber Disease, lived as full a life as she was able. Donna was so loved by her family - and she so loved in return. Her nieces and nephews adored their Auntie Donna, and she leaves a void in her siblings' hearts. Although it is so very hard to let her go, we know that she is in Heaven with our loving mom and dad. You knew you were going to get on her best side if you brought her perogies, her favourite food. The last four years Donna lived with her foster (extended) family, David and Elizabeth Jasysyn, and their children, Andrea, Kelsey, Jeremiah, Joshua and Lovey. We are so grateful to them for giving her a loving home - she loved you all so much. Donna is survived by her sisters, Marion Chorney (Bob), Elsie Warner, Pat Nelson (Terry), Janet Hay (Terry); brothers, Danny and David Stilkowski; numerous nieces and nephews, Caralee, Glenn (Shelley), Nikol, Darrell, Marlene, Christine (Travis), Terry (Cynthia), Angela, Scott (Suzie), Rebecca, Branden, Darlia; great-nieces and nephews, Kalsie, Brennan, Kaitlyn, Nathan, Myles, Jenaya, Noah, Jalen and Ellie; aunts, uncles and cousins. She is predeceased by our parents, Mike and Toni Stilkowski. Donna - we love you and will miss you so very much, but our hearts are filled with peace knowing you are free from pain and suffering. What a gift and blessing you were to all of us. A private family funeral service will be held to celebrate her life. Arrangements entrusted to Rock Fontaine Funeral Director. 204-223-2576; 866-499-2601. VICHNAYA PAMYAT
