DONNA
LEE HAMRLIK
Donna passed away peacefully on Friday, June
6, 2014 after a lengthy battle with cancer.
Left to cherish Donna’s memory are her sister
Valerie Botwright; brother Byron (Wanda) Hamrlik; nieces Britanny and Lauren
Hamrlik; Angel Olafson (Donald) and great niece Rayne. She was predeceased by
her parents, Edward and Agnes Hamrlik; baby sister Lynn; and brother-in-law
Stewart Botwright.
Donna (Dee) was born and raised on a farm
near Hodgson, Manitoba amongst loving family, friends and neighbours. Even
after she left Hodgson, Dee returned to visit dear Auntie Anne Hamrlik whom she
called “my other mother” and lifelong friends, the Bell sisters. Her nieces and
grand-niece were her pride and joy. After Mom’s death Donna moved to Winnipeg
where she began a life of retirement in her new home at Fred Tipping Place.
There she gained the love and respect of tenant-friends who appreciated her humorous, caring and giving
nature. Donna was famous for her banana bread and had a never-ending order for
it. She loved volunteering for the lunch program, bingos, cribbage, shuffle
board tournaments and many social events. Her favourite time of the year was
Christmas, when she could bake and buy gifts for family, friends, and all of
her “adopted grand–babies”. Donna thoroughly enjoyed time spent at the
Christian Fellowship Chapel. She was an associate member of Royal Canadian
Legion Branches #158 and #252.
A Celebration of Donna’s Life will be held on
Friday, June 20, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. in the Christian Fellowship Chapel, 465
Osborne Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, with Chaplain Paul Holbrook officiating. Interment
will take place at a later date.
Special thanks to Dr. R. Lotocki and staff at
Cancer Care St. Boniface. Grace Hospice staff, you are indeed angels on earth.
Respecting Donna’s wishes, in lieu of
flowers, donations may be made to the Hodgson Cemetery Fund, Box 135, Hodgson,
Manitoba, R0C 1N0.
