On Monday, March 22, 2021,
Donna Jean McRae of Christian
Valley, formerly Osoyoos, passed
away peacefully surrounded by
family, after a brief battle with
cancer at the age 73. She was predeceased by her husband
Ken and father Glenn Tweedy.
Donna will be fondly remembered by her loving family
including mother Iris; son Cameron; daughter Jen (John);
grandchildren Carlin, Conner, Hannah and Lianne; sisters
Rhonda (Ken) and Bonnie (Greg); nieces and nephews;
great nieces and nephews as well as many cousins.
She worked in broadcasting prior to returning to Osoyoos
to raise her children and be closer to family, following
Ken’s passing in 1975. She also worked for Tweedy Props
and drove truck.
Donna was very involved in her community and
volunteered with the Royal Canadian Legion Br. 173,
dedicated many years on the executive and organizing
events including the original Cherry Pit Spit at the annual
Canada Day Cherry Fiesta in Osoyoos.
She enjoyed curling, gardening, cards, crossword puzzles,
American politics, reading and spending time with family.
Donna was brilliant, kind hearted, super cool, had a great
sense of humour and was a woman who gave the best
hugs. She is loved and will be missed by all.
She lived her dream the last three years living in a cabin in
the woods in the Christian Valley.
Donna’s family would like to thank Dr. Calder and the
staff at SOGH for the compassionate care provided to her
during her final days.
Donations gratefully accepted for the Royal Canadian
Legion Br. 173 Poppy Fund.
