August 23, 1961 - March 24, 2025
In loving memory ~
It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Donna Marie McMorris, (nee Braconnier) age 63, on March 24, 2025, in Ladysmith, B.C.
She passed away after a long and courageous battle with Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease, surrounded by family. Donna will be lovingly remembered and missed by her devoted and loving husband, Ralph J McMorris, together for the past 28 years. Along with her Son, Sean O'Flynn (Reena), Mother Yvonne Russell, Siblings Kathy (Ken), Bob (Darlene), Dan (Shirley), Lori (Will), and her Grandchildren, Conner and Liam, along with numerous nieces and nephews.
Donna was born August 23, 1961 in New Westminster, B.C. She loved to organize parties and events. Whether it was for a birthday or a weekend party or a meet up on the ocean, Donna could organize like no other. Dancing and great tunes were always a must.
She loved the water! She grew up on a lake in Quesnel and later moved to Vernon, where there was no shortage of water. One of her biggest and most impressive achievements was sailing for 2 years throughout the USA, Mexico, French Polynesia, Cook Islands, Tonga, New Zealand, Hawaii, and back to Victoria again, with only her and Ralph.
A big part of Donna's career was working for Super Value & Save On Foods where she transferred throughout B.C. and ended up in Victoria where she met Ralph. She was also a dispatcher at a Redi Mix plant in Nanaimo, before leaving there to run the office of the storage facility her and Ralph built.
A celebration of Donna's life will take place on Saturday April 12, 2025 at 1 p.m. Location will be at 5135 Grouhel Rd, Ladysmith, B.C.
