Donna was a mother, grandmother, sister, auntie, and friend whose kindness and warmth touched everyone who knew her. Donna was born on May 11, 1947, in Claresholm, Alberta. She spent much of her childhood living on the farm and getting into mischief with her brother and sister. She eventually settled in Redcliff and Medicine Hat, where she met her husband, Gary. Some of Donna’s best memories were when she and Gary lived in Tuscan, AZ, New Orleans, LA, and Mobile, AL. They enjoyed many adventures in the South, discovering new places and meeting new friends. Throughout her life, Donna has brought joy and laughter to all those around her. She never shied away from making new friends or chatting up a stranger. She was always the last to leave the party and would never turn down a glass of wine. Donna loved life. Her humour and personality were with her right to the end. Her kind spirit and warm smile will remain forever in our hearts. Donna is lovingly remembered by her two children, Shawn (Lyndsay) Syverson of Calgary, AB, and Dana (Colin) Telfer of Carp, ON. She was a proud and adoring grandmother to her grandchildren, Keanan, Blake, Ava, Kyla, and Colby, and her grand puppy, Jax, who brought immense joy to her life. Donna also leaves behind her beloved big brother, William (Bill) Peta, as well as numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews who were dear to her. Donna was predeceased by her husband of 49 years, Gary Syverson; her mother, Gunda Peta, and her sister, Caroline Granlin. Donna’s legacy is one of love, kindness, and laughter. She will be greatly missed but lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her. A Celebration of Life will take place in the summer.
