ANNA PATRICIA SCHUMACHER Every once in awhile we meet someone truly special. Someone who brings a sense of happiness to everyone they meet, through their smile, their eyes, their sense of humour and their genuine sense of caring and compassion. Patricia Schumacher was such a person. Pat died peacefully on Saturday morning, May 22, 2010. Born on May 14, 1930 to Alexander Hamilton and Gladys Donley, who predeceased her, as did her husband, Raymond Spencer Schumacher, and her brother, Alexander Hamilton (Hammy) Donley. Patricia is survived by her two sons; Paul Donley Mathias (Jerelyn) of St. Albert, Alberta and Gregory Hamilton Schumacher (Sharon) of Winnipeg, Manitoba and by her brother Darragh Donley (Kathy) of Ottawa, Ontario. Pat also leaves behind her grandchildren: Jennifer Myson of Airdrie, Alberta, Andy and Erica Tiedemann of St. Albert, Alberta and Kaitlin Rae Schumacher of Vancouver, BC and, Ryan Benstead of St. Albert, Alberta; great-grandchildren: Christopher Benstead of St. Albert, Alberta and Ethan Myson of Airdrie, Alberta. Pat is also survived by many nieces and nephews and a small group of life-long friends. Her family wishes to thank long-time family friend and parish priest, Father Gerry Ward for administering the Sacrament of the Sick and for his most sincere friendship, undying care and compassion. At Patricia's request, a memorial service will not be held. Flowers are gratefully declined, but if you wish to make a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba the family would be most appreciative.
