Obituary of Donna Louise Stinson

STINSON, Donna

With profound sadness, after a courageous battle with cancer, the family announces the peaceful passing of Donna at St. Joseph’s Hospital in the early morning of Sunday, December 10, 2017 at the age of 69. Predeceased by the love of her life, husband John Stinson. Cherished mother to Tina Lanosky (Larry), Dawn Stinson (Dino Martino) and step-son John Stinson. Loving grandmother to Taylor and Brooklyn Lanosky, Jacob and Anthony Martino. Survived by her sister Kathy Llewellyn (Mark) and predeceased by her sister Carol Fazari and parents Robert and Phyllis Graham. Donna will also be missed by her niece and nephews Mark, Sal, Ryan and Jennifer. Donna was a loving and devoted mother who dedicated her life; heart and soul to her girls. She was always happiest when surrounded by her family and friends, especially her grandchildren whom she provided her ever present gift of unconditional love. Donna knew life was short and lived every moment as if it were her last. Even through her illness she happily persevered to enjoy every moment. Donna was a strong spirit and full of life, stubborn and fought the good fight.  She was passionate about everything and her zest to live in the moment will be an inspiration to all who knew and loved her. We are truly grateful for Patty Robbins for her life long friendship with mom and what they shared, and to the nurses and staff at New Village Retirement Home for their care and compassion. Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Donald V. Brown Funeral Home, 36 Lake Avenue Drive, Stoney Creek on Friday, December 15, 2017 from 2-6 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to the charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated.
