Black Rock
We, the family of Donna Pearl Dunn, regretfully announcing the passing of our beloved mom, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend in the An Cala unit of the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney, on Sunday, December 15, 2024, surrounded by her loving family, and talking about the good times.
Donna will be greatly missed by her devoted partner, Ronnie Cousins, the true love of her life. The adventures they had together and the life they had built will never be forgotten. Her daughters, Cheryl (James) Gray, and Bobbi Ann Lanceleve (J.J Cusack) are left to mourn their mother’s amazing way of fixing everything with words or a good cup of tea. Her Angel baby, Emily (Timothy) Anderson will miss her being just a phone call away for any cooking or baking questions, or her phone calls to fix technology problems. Her grandchildren, her boys, Shawn Gray, Joshua Lanceleve, and Jacob Gray will miss her sense of humour! Her pride and joy, the great-grandchildren who could bring her a smile on the hardest of days will miss her amazing cookies! Her sisters, and brothers will miss her dearly! But who will miss her the most are her dogs, Teddy, and Marlow!
Donna was predeceased by her mother, Emily; father, Archie; sisters, Judy, both Ardith, and Mary Rose in infancy, along with many of her beloved pets who were all waiting to give her the warmest welcome.
Donna had an unreal green thumb! She could make anything grow, and she was especially proud of her burning bush and all her flowers. But her true talent was painting! Her paintings are the pride and joy of so many who love her!
Visitation and memorial service to celebrate the life of Donna Dunn will be held at Pier Community Funeral Home, 1092 Victoria Rd. (entrance on Church St.), Whitney Pier on Thursday, December 19, 2024. A gathering of family and friends will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. with the memorial service to follow at 4 p.m. in the All Faith Chapel with Rev. Sheldon Chant officiating.
Donations in memory of Donna may be made to a charity of one’s choice.
Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care and direction of Pier Community Funeral Home.
